Wiring the AES/EBU and AES/EBUid Interfaces
AES/EBU
Connect the AES/EBU interfaces with the help of balanced electrical
cables equipped with XLR connectors on both ends. The specifications
stipulate a specific cable resistance of 110Ω (ask your retailer for a confir-
mation of this value when purchasing the cables).
AES/EBUid
Connect the AES/EBUid interfaces with the help of unbalanced electrical
BNC cables equipped with BNC connectors on both ends (same as used for
Word Clock). The specifications stipulate a specific cable resistance of 75Ω
(ask your retailer for a confirmation of this value when purchasing the
cables). Typically, such cables are marked »RG-59U, RG59B/U«.
Especially when working with high
AES/EBU clock rates well shielded
clock lines are imperative to avoid
increased radiation! Standard cables are nor-
mally useable for clock rates up to 50.0kHz.
Special shielded cable material should be
used for transfer of higher clock rates.
!
Since some manufacturers offer optimized
cables for the transmission of digital AES/
EBU and AES/EBUid audio signals, it will be
a good idea to ask your retailer for specific
cables.
