5.3 AC CONNECTION
The Falcon 15 uses a power entry module with AC switch just closed to the IEC power
cord receptacle. It can operate on 110 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz AC mains voltages. If the
unit is to be used with a mains voltage different to that for which the unit is supplied, set
the voltage change-over switch, which is placed inside the box, closed to the AC
transformer.
The power supply socket has an integral fuse drawer containing the AC power fuse and a
spare, both of the same value.
• for 220/230 V AC the fuse is rated at 500 mA T
• for 110/115 V AC tension the fuse is rated at 1 A T
5.4 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT
Transformer balanced XLR-type and optic connectors are used to input AES-3, S/PDIF,
IEC60958, EIAJCP1201 digital audio.
To avoid malfunctions, only one digital connector may be connected at a time. Please
keep the tos-link connector covered while not used.
The digital input accepts any sampling rate between 32 and 96 kHz. No user adjustment
is necessary since a sample rate converter is built into the unit. Furthermore, digital input
automatically recognizes the digital format (AES, EBU, SPDIF, etc.) and the type of
connection (optic or coaxial).
Even though both analog and digital input audio cables can be connected, only one input
can be set active (analog/digital input selection is done through the software parameter
setting - § 4.1). Input gain and level setting for digital input is done using the Input Module
Setup menu.
XLR pinout: Pin 1 Gnd
Pin 2 Signal
Pin 3 Return
In case of balanced connections (as required by S/PDIF format), shortcut pin 3 and 1 or
connect the unbalanced signal to XLR Pin 2 (hot) and Pin 3 (Gnd).
