• AES 1 contains data for channels 1 (L) and 2 (R) from the 4081
• AES 2 contains data for channels 3 (L) and 4 (R) from the 4081
On the AES Ins/Outs 25-way connector on the rear of the 4081, a
number '1' printed next to the corner of the connector indicates the
location of Pin 1.
NB:
Please note that analogue breakout cables will not be suitable for use
with this connector.
Ensure you use a cable wired to the Tascam AES convention instead.
(An analogue cable is wired pin-to-pin, an AES cable has the pins crossed
so pin 1 goes to pin 25 etc).
