The Computer Connector

Next to the analog inputs and outputs is a connector labeled

COMPUTER

This connector is known as a DB-9, and is similar to the serial port on a PC.

It is the point at which the audio interface connects to the Layla24 PCI card

inside your computer.

A cable was supplied with your Layla24 for this purpose. This custom made

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

be replaced by a special Layla24 cable available only from Echo.

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: Layla24 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 Layla24 Echo Console. For more information,

see the appropriate section in this manual under the heading “

The Echo

Console
