Audio connections – Mona

ADAT/S/PDIF optical I/O

Next to the COMPUTER connector is a pair of connectors labeled OPTICAL,

IN 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:

Mona 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 Mona Console. For more information, refer to the

console section of this manual.

S/PDIF

Next to the ADAT connectors is a pair of connectors labeled S/PDIF, IN and

OUT. These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital data among digital

audio devices via an electrical signal. S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample

width used internally on Mona.

When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Mona, the use of standard analog

RCA audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75ohm

coaxial (RG59) video cables are recommended.
