selected input or signal connected to sync input
Sync Input:
Compatible Sources: word clock, DARS (AES11), 
bi-level video, tri-level video
Jitter: 4 ns pp maximum
Connector: BNC (per IEC 60169-8 Amendment 2)
Termination: 75 ohms, selectable on/off
Digital Monitor Outputs: 16 (eight pairs)

anced AES3/SMPTE 276M (75 ohms/1 Vpp), 
selectable
Connector: 25-pin female D-subminiature (DB-25F)

Configuration: organized as one surround (5.1) 
and one stereo (2-channel)
Type: electronically balanced, source impedance 
200 ohms
Nominal Level: +4.0 dBu @ –20 dBFS input source 
and level control at maximum setting
Maximum Level: +24 dBu into 2000 (2 k) ohms 
or greater
Frequency Response, Digital Inputs to Analog 
Monitor Outputs: 10 Hz-20 kHz +0.0/–0.3 dB @ 
48 kHz sample rate; –3 dB @ 64 kHz 
Distortion (THD+N): 0.004%, ref 1 kHz, +4 dBu 
output
S/N Ratio: 89 dB, ref +4 dBu output
Dynamic Range: greater than 109 dB
Crosstalk: –98 dB at 1 kHz; –97 dB at 16 kHz, 
ref –1 dBFS input
Connector: 25-pin female D-subminiature (DB-25F)
Configurable Input Delay: 0 to 340 milliseconds @ 
48 kHz sample rate (scales up or down depending 
on actual sample rate)
Post-Fader Monitor Output Level Offsets: 
each surround and stereo channel independently 
adjustable in 0.5-dB steps over a ±12-dB range. 
(Digital and analog outputs associated with a 
specific channel share the same setting.)
Bass Management:
Supported Sample Rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 
96 kHz only
Crossover Frequency and Type: –6 dB @ 40, 50, 
60, or 80 Hz, symmetrical for low-pass and high-
pass filters, maximally flat
Filter Slope: 12 or 24 dB/octave
Overall Operation: independent on/off selectable 
for surround and stereo post-fader monitor outputs
Downmix:
Functions: surround to stereo, stereo to mono
Surround to Stereo:  
L @ 0 or –3 dB; 
R @ 0 or –3 dB; 
C @ –3 or –6 dB summed with L and R; 
LFE @ full attenuation or –6 dB summed with 
 L and R; 
LS @ –3 or –6 dB summed with L; 
RS @ –3 or –6 dB summed with R; 
C, SUB, LS, and RS monitor outputs mute
Stereo to Mono:  
L @ –3 dB summed with R @ –3 dB to C; 
L, R, LS, RS, and SUB monitor outputs mute 
For a surround input this results in the C output be-
ing the sum of L @ –3 or –6 dB, R @ –3 or –6 dB; 
C @ –3 or –6 dB, LFE @ full attenuation or –6 dB; 
LS @ –6 or –9 dB, and RS @ –6 or –9 dB.
