Audio and Control Wiring
All audio and control I/O connections to the D-16 console are made
through multipin DB-25 connectors located on the rear panel of the
console.
The factory supplied hand crimping tool is used for all I/O wiring
connections to and from the console (see instruction on the page 1-9).
Connection Procedures
As supplied from the factory, the console requires no logic connections
to function. Therefore an orderly installation begins with the audio wiring.
Proceed through the manual, chapter by chapter, until all slots have been
wired to suit your particular installation requirements. Once proper audio
operation is verified, go back to Chapter 3 and proceed with control wiring.
Digital Audio Connections
CABLE - All AES/EBU input and output digital audio connections are
balanced and should be made using a high quality digital audio cable. Be
sure to select a digital audio cable with an integral drain wire of the same
wire gauge (AWG) as the twisted pair. Typical AES/EBU digital audio
cable has a very low characteristic capacitance per ft (pF/ft), and a nominal
impedance of 110Ω. High quality digital audio cable offers better signal
transmission performance versus typical analog audio cable, especially
over long cable runs. Check the cable manufacturer’s data sheet to be sure
the cable you plan to use will work in your application.
CONNECTORS - All AES/EBU connections are made with the
supplied DB-25 connectors. These crimp style connectors will accept wire
gauge 22 - 28AWG.
SPDIF INPUTS - The SPDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface) or
“consumer” digital audio interface is a two wire unbalanced signal,
typically on a single RCA style connector. To connect SPDIF devices to
the D-16 console simply wire the SPDIF center conductor (HOT) to the
digital input HI pin and SPDIF shell (ground) to the LO pin. Connect the
digital input SH at the console end only.
