Security Advices 4 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 • Please consider referring the installation of the unit operating the converter the safety information in the corresponding operation instruction. • Please carr y out the self-installation only as descri- bed from page 5.
5 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 External synchronization: For synchronization with external sources, AES-data or W ord-Clock signals can be used as sync sources. Alternatively the A/D conv erter can be synchronized to the data adjacent to the D/A converter .
Mounting Steps 1 and 2 6 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 Step 1: Please put the converter module as illust- rated on the unit top and remov e the screws of the cover from the back of the upgrade unit. Step 2: Please remove the mounting of the wiring on the back of the cover (eventually cut off the silicon).
Mounting Steps 3 and 4 7 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 Step 3: Connect the cable carefully , without turning, to the socket of the converter . Guideways on socket and plug exclude a wrong connection.
C onnections 8 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 The conv erter module provides analog, balanced XLR outputs ( 1 ), digital XLR I/Os (AES/EBU) ( 2 ) and digital S/P-DIF I/Os ( 3 ). In case of using the S/P-DIF output as a WC/AES SYNC input, the S/P-DIF output is no longer available .
C onnections 9 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 Digital I/Os AES/EBU: Inputs and outputs according to the AES/EBU specification for the connection of all digital units specified in accordance to AES/EBU. S/P-DIF: Alternatively to the digital XLR-sockets, the S/P-DIF I/Os can be used for the connection of digital units.
Operation 10 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 AD MODE Switch The AD MODE switch is used to set the desired bit mode and sample rate. The follo- wing list explains the respective switch positions: 16 Bit Mode E = AES Ext. Synchronization to AES clock D = DA Synchronization zum D/A conv erter C = WC Ext.
Operation 11 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 External Synchronization External Synchronization (Connection via W/C-AES SYNC INPUT ) is required when several signals must be brought together within a chain of digital units, e.g . when connecting several digital units at one console.
Applications 12 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 CHANNEL ONE: Using both conv er ters Referring to the CHANNEL ONE, the separate use of both converters can be for example the con version of digital signals independent from the A/D converter and to reproduce them in best tonal quality on louds- peakers or headphones.
Applications 13 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 Monitoring in 24Bit/96kHz A high standard of monitoring is necessary for judging the recording quality . Therefor e all digital signals have to be con verted into analog signals to allow reproduction on loudspeakers or headphones.
Applications 14 24/96 AD-DA Converter 2053 Example 1: Processing a sampler's signal Connect the output of the sampler via AES/EBU or S/P-DIF interface with the input of the converter . The adjustment described in the section above now allows to process the sampler's signal.
