1. Analogue inputs 1 – 8
These 8 analogue audio inputs are electronically balanced and accept line
level (0dB) signals.
These analogue inputs will be routed into the AoIP network if no valid AES3
input is detected on the equivalent AES3 channel. One AES3 channel carries
2 audio channels therefore:
AES3 I/P 1 = Analogue Inputs 1 & 2
AES3 I/P 2 = Analogue Inputs 3 & 4
AES3 I/P 3 = Analogue Inputs 5 & 6
AES3 I/P 4 = Analogue Inputs 7 & 8
The signals can then be routed via DANTE® to anywhere on a network.
2. AES3 inputs/outputs 1 - 4
The 4 balanced AES3 inputs can accept AES signals up to 192kHz.
These AES3 digital input signals always take priority over analogue inputs to
the 8 switched AoIP outputs.
Therefore, sending an input to channel 1 in both digital and analogue domains
will result in the digital signal being accepted and the analogue signal being
disregarded.
