Original Message 1/8 07-Nov-01 @ 02:08 PM - E64 spdif | aes/ebu output
i want to attach the digital outs on the back of my EMU E64 sampler (the two XLR sockets that claim to be SPDIF & AES/EBU) - to either the SPDIF in or AES/EBU in - on my HOONTECH DSP2000 C-PORT soundcard
i guess you configure the EMU to output either SPDIF or AES/EBU to the XLRs - but then how on earth do you get 2XLRs down to one 3.5mm jack???????????????????
will a stereo co-ax wire with a series of stereo connectors attached do the job?
cheers

but...the hoontech only has ONE jack?

after turning the torch on the darkened back of my rack - there is indeed ONE XLR out and ONE XLR in on the E64.
so i guess my question is ->
stereo XLR adaptor -> 1/4" jack lead -> stereo 3.5mm adaptor
OR
mono XLR adaptor -> 1/4" jack lead -> mono 3.5mm adaptor
???????? does the digital AES/EBU signal need stereo/mono adaptors AND does matter whether I use balanced or un-balanced wiring for it to work ?????????
yours confusedly

i don't

the XLR jack on the EMU is configured as follows :-
PIN1 N.C.
PIN2 +
PIN3 -
so - - - - - if you want to connect this to the 3.5mm AES/EBU input on the HOONTECH DSP24 (which is expecting a balanced wire - ie. 3 signals - to be plugged into it) then you're going to have to do some fiddling
- - - - - a much easier option is to manufacture a cable connecting PINS 2 & 3 on the EMU XLR out to the tip and er... the not-tip bit repectively on a phono connector - - then set the digital output on the EMU to S/PDIF instead of AES
i'm gonna try it tonight - will report back

its AES to SPDIF coax, right?
there are cables like that, ready made

ahem...
the XLR on the back of the EMU is switchable to output either AEB/EBU OR S/PDIF
my soundcard has both AES/EBU and S/PDIF inputs
so - so - so - so
i've got an XLR connector at the EMU end going to a coax phono at the PC end (pins connected as above) - and am using S/PDIF to talk between the two
