SPDIF In/Out
The digital SPDIF input allows you to connect a CD player for monitoring. But you can
also connect any other source with an SPDIF output (profiling guitar amp, synthesizer,
drum machine, etc.). The SPDIF output can be connected to a sampler or a DAT/CD/MP3
recorder for instance.
Additionally with the SPDIF input you can record two more tracks.
The SPDIF input and output are AES3 compatible, often called “SPDIF Professional”.
Do note that there are electric differences between the SPDIF and AES specifications.
Generally speaking, any AES device ought to be able to receive SPDIF Professional from
the Crimson 3 without problems. In very rare occasions, it might happen that the AES
signals are not correctly received by the SPDIF input of the Crimson 3.
