AES3 digital audio input is via two XLR3F connectors. Connectors are provided for Inputs 1 & 2 and Inputs 3 & 4.
Wiring of this connector follows the same standard as for analog XLR connections as shown section 8.2.2.
The AES3 signal format carries two channels of audio and associated data on a single cable/connector. Selection
of input channels is performed within the digital processing section of the PLM+ and is controlled from the menu
system. Please refer to section 7.11.3.1 for further details.

The switched 100/1000 Base-T network connections auto-sense whether standard or crossover Cat-5e cables
are in use. The green ACT LED illuminates (flashes) to show network activity, and when a 100 Mbps connection is
present; the orange LED illuminates (static) to indicate a 1000 Mbps connection.
Pre-made cables with moulded RJ45 plugs are recommended. If it is necessary to make up custom Cat-5e
network cables, use pinout described in Table 8.14.
