The Computer Connector

On the back panel of the Gina24 audio interface box is a connector labeled

COMPUTER

. It is the point at which the audio interface connects to the

Gina24 PCI card inside your computer.

A cable was supplied with your Gina24 for this purpose. This custom made

cable is manufactured to certain specifications and, if necessary, should only

be replaced by a special Gina24 cable available only from Echo.

Please Note: The Gina24 cable is NOT interchangeable with Darla24 or

Gina (20-bit) cables.

ADAT/S/PDIF optical I/O

Next to the

COMPUTER

connector is a pair of connectors labeled

OPTICAL,

and

OUT

. These connectors are used to transmit digital

data among digital audio devices via an optical signal.

You can use this port for ADAT (8 channels) or for optical S/PDIF (stereo)

I/O. NOTE: Gina24 is only capable of transmitting or receiving one type of

digital signal at a time. You must choose either ADAT optical or S/PDIF

(optical or RCA); you cannot use both simultaneously. The

Digital Mode

Switch

can be found in the Gina24 Echo Console. For more information,

see the appropriate section in this manual under the heading “

The Echo

Console

.”
