Item Description
5 SPDIF2 BNC digital input. Connects the unit to a digital audio source, such as a
CD transport or upsampler.
6 USB2 USB-A digital input. Connects the unit to a USB flash drive.
7 USB1 USB-B digital input. Connects the unit to a computer or sound server.
8 NETWORK RJ45 network input. Connects the unit to the local network or the
Internet.
9 POWERLINK RJ45 input. Connects the unit to other LINA units to enable Power Link.
► For more information, see "Using Power Link" on page25.
10 WORDCLOCK IN1 Word clock input 1. A 75Ω BNC connector.
Connects the unit to an external clock. Word clock is only used for
synchronisation and does not carry digital audio data.
11 WORDCLOCK IN2 Word clock input 2. A 75Ω BNC connector.
Connects the unit to an external clock. Word clock is only used for
synchronisation and does not carry digital audio data.
12 SPDIF3 Fibre optic Toslink input. Connects the unit to a digital audio source,
such as a satellite receiver.
13 Power socket, fuse,
and power switch
Power is connected via a standard IEC320 connector, with a power
switch and a fuse holder.
Analogue outputs
The balanced and unbalanced outputs on the unit are independent, which allows you to
connect each output to a different amplifier.
Connect balanced outputs to true balanced inputs only. The outputs are electronically
balanced and floating, which reduces hum or interference picked up by the cable. There are
three connections:
• Pin 1: Screen / ground
• Pin 2: Signal+
• Pin 3: Signal-
The balanced outputs do not work correctly when they are connected to an
unbalanced input.
Digital inputs
AES digital inputs
The AES1 and AES2 inputs individually accept PCM data at up to 192kS/s, or DSD/64 in DoP
format.
If Dual AES is enabled, you can use AES1 and AES2 together as a Dual AES pair. Dual AES
supports the following data formats:
• PCM data (24/88.2 to 24/384)
