CONNECTIONS
DIGITAL SOURCE TO D/A CONVERTER INTERLINK CONSID-
ERATIONS
Care should be taken in selectihg the type of cable used to link the
digital source to your Processor, We suggest the AT&T wide-band
width fiber optic cable be used. The AT&T format has a bandwidth
of approximately 50 MegaBit. This allows accurate transmission
of the digital bit stream without data corruption and proves to be
sonically superior. If the AT&T format is not available, a high
quality qual~ fiber optic (Toshiba format) link can work well.
Using a fiber optic interconnect reduces ground loop problems
often associated with quality audio systems.
If coaxial cable is used, it should be non-capacitive and have a
bandwidth in excess of 10MHz to prevent drop-out errors. For
best results with coaxial cable we recommend the AES/EBU
balanced format. The AES/EBU format is a + 5 volt balanced
digital transmission. Because of the high voltage balanced for-
mat, this system, allows for accurate data transmission and has
great sonic advantages over standard single-ended coaxial or
Tosh fiber optic terminations. The AES/EBU coaxial cable must
have two conductors and a shield for balanced termination.
SPECIAL NOTE: When the Tosh/C 1 input is used, the Processor
will default and acknowledge the Tosh input first if cables are
inserted in both the Tosh and Coax 1 inputs. When using the
Coax 1 input you must remove the Tosh cable from the Processor
or turn that unit off before Coax 1 can be used. If the Tosh input
is not in use, the Coax 1 input will not be effected.
