Benefits

Highlights benefits like cost reduction, lossless transmission, scalability, and compatibility with various data formats.

Installation Notes

Safety Precautions

Provides a critical warning about using Cat.5 cable only between ADAT extenders and avoiding connection to ethernet equipment.

Front Panel Connections

Cat5 Connection 1

Details Cat5 Connection 1 for ADAT connections 1-4 over Cat5 cabling, noting jacks A and B are paralleled.

Cat5 Connection 2 (ADX-64 only)

Describes Cat5 Connection 2 for ADAT connections 5-8 (ADX-64 only), with identical operation to connections 1-4.

Rear Panel Connections

Power Input

Details the power input specifications, voltage, wattage, and connector type, including fuse protection.

ADAT Connections 1-4

Explains ADAT Lightpipe inputs and outputs 1-4 and how transmission direction is set via DIP switches.

ADAT Connections 5-8 (ADX-64 only)

Describes ADAT Lightpipe inputs and outputs 5-8 for the ADX-64 version, noting identical operation to connections 1-4.

Settings

Input;Output Mode (DIP Switches 1-4)

Details how DIP switches 1-4 set the transmission direction (input or output) for ADAT connections, including loopback function.

Termination (DIP Switches 5-8)

Explains the use of DIP switches 5-8 for enabling termination resistors to prevent signal degradation on Cat5 cables.

Wordclock Synchronization

General Wordclock

Explains the necessity of a common clock (wordclock) in digital audio systems for synchronized signal processing.

Sync over ADAT

Describes how wordclock is transmitted within the ADAT data stream itself, eliminating the need for separate sync cables.

Sync over Separate Coax

Details using a separate coaxial cable for wordclock distribution, common in larger installations for better sync control.
