4.2.2 XLR SETUP - Digital
A digital input, whether AES42 for a digital Microphone or as AES3 for a digital line, carries two channels; therefore the
[XLRx SETUP] show controls and modulation level for booth channels. The headphones monitors in stereo, the odd
channel on the Left and the even channel on the Right.
LF CUT: toggles OFF, 60Hz, 120Hz
Call a sub-menu to assign the input on a
track
Input Modulometer of the Left channel
Toggle the polarity of the input:
(phase normal or phase reversed)
Call a sub-menu to adjust the range of
the fader and how the range is stepped;
the actual fader level is displayed
Input Modulometer of the Right channel

Call a sub-menu to configure the input
type (Analogue AES42, AES3) , the
current type is displayed
4.2.3 XLR INPUT TYPE
Pressing the [STATUS xxx] key calls a new page to configure the input type of the XLR connector
Select the input type or turns the input
OFF to save on battery
Select Analogue for a Mic/Line input
Select AES3 for a digital line
Select AES42 for a digital microphone
When configured as analogue input, a
primary gain of 20dB and the 48V
Phantom can be activated.
This example shows that AES1-2 is
available for the 26 pin connector

4.2.4 NOTES ABOUT THE AES RECEIVERS
The SX-R4+ recorder is equipped with 4x independent AES receivers, representing 8 audio input channels grouped per
pair (as per AES standard); each of them having its own ASRC (Asynchronous Sample Rates Converter) allowing
connection of non-synchronized digital sources.
These 4x AES receivers can be individually connected either on the 26 pin [AES IN] connector or on a XLR connector:
• AES receiver 1 can receive a feed from 26 pin AES 1-2 or from XRL1
• AES receiver 2 can receive a feed from 26 pin AES 3-4 or from XRL2
• AES receiver 3 can receive a feed from 26 pin AES 5-6 or from XRL3
• AES receiver 4 can receive a feed from 26 pin AES 7-8 or from XRL4
For example, if XLR x is configured as AES42 or AES3, the corresponding AES x on the 26 pin is no longer available.
