1. D-Sub to Digital in/out snake:
What: Connects 4 stereo pairs of digital i/o.
Example: 25-pin D-Sub on one end, eight XLRs on the other (4 female connectors for stereo input and 4
male connectors for stereo out/thru). See photo A for visual confirmation and Appendix for wiring
diagram. This conforms to the Tascam / Digi wiring standard.
Tip:
,
Remember, this may be wired for AES or S/PDIF or any combination, without transformers. Keeping
digital cables or a snake on hand to flip the connectors makes this easy (see photo E).
Tip:
,
Buy good cable! It’s the superhighway for audio electrons. Go Mogami.
2. AES XLR(F)-XLR(M) Cable:
What: Connects to an external digital meter and follows current monitor source.
Example: Use 110 ohm shielded cable. (See photo B for visceral confirmation.)
Tip:
,
Optionally, connect to an external recorder to create multiple versions for comparative listening.
3. Two XLR(F)-XLR(M) Analog Cables or connect directly XLR(F)-DB25 snake:
What: Connects the two analog XLR outputs from the DAC-ST to the D-Sub connector on the Monitor
ST. These two outputs from the DAC-ST are joining other device’s outputs, that are meeting at
the D-Sub.
Example: Use shielded cable or depending on positioning (photo C), wire directly with analog XLR(F)-DB25
snake. (See photo D for visceral confirmation.)
