Specifications

These inputs conform to the Sony/Philips Digital Interface Standard (S/PDIF),

which calls for a 75Ω transmission of the DAS. Use a digital interconnecting

cable specifically designed for the 75Ω S/PDIF standard, such as Madrigal

MDC-2 cable, when using these inputs.

9 ST OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUT (6)

This input accepts the digital audio signal (DAS), via cables equipped with

the ST-type optical connector, sometimes called “AT&T” or “glass,” from digi-

tal sources such as a compact disc transport, laser disc transport, digital au-

dio tape transport, digital broadcast receiver.

10 EIAJ OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUTS (7 – 8)

These inputs accept digital audio signal (DAS), via cables equipped with

the EIAJ optical connector, sometimes called “Toslink™”, from digital sources

such as a compact disc transport, laser disc transport, digital audio tape

transport, digital broadcast receiver.

11 ELECTRICAL DIGITAL OUTPUTS

These outputs provide digital audio signal (DAS), via cables equipped with

XLR-type connectors, to a digital processor, digital audio tape recorder, pre-

amplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver equipped with XLR-type digital

inputs.

The monitor digital output is controlled by the source selection buttons on

the front panel, and tracks whatever source is being listened to from the

Nº30.6. It can be used as a “pass-through” for the selected, monitored digital

source, and employs the aes/ebu transmission standard.

The rec digital output is controlled by the digital record select button (in

conjunction with the source selection buttons), and is unaffected by the

normal selection of sources to be monitored. It also employs the aes/ebu

transmission standard.

12 OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT

This output provides a digital audio signal (DAS), via a cable equipped

with EIAJ-type optical connectors, to a digital processor, digital audio tape

recorder, preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver equipped with optical

digital inputs.

This rec digital output is controlled by the digital record select button,

and is unaffected by the monitor source selection buttons.
