Ensemble Designs 6010 Four Channel 24-bit Audio ADC - Manual (Page 4)

Converting Audio Outputs of Two Independent 2-Track Analog Tape Recorders
Even though it is a four channel device, the 6010 utilizes two separate 2-channel A/D con-
verters. In this application, a 6010 module converts the audio outputs of two independent
2-track analog audio tape recorders to digital. Care should be exercised when connecting
the audio inputs to the 6010 to ensure that one machine is connected to inputs 1 and 2
and the other machine to inputs 3 and 4. This will ensure that the outputs of the two
machines will be paired correctly on the AES outputs of the 6010. Use of a 6030 module to
provide a video-locked AES reference for the 6010 is optional and is recommended in
video applications.
Driving a 6010 Using a Single-ended (unbalanced) Source
The 6010 has balanced transformerless inputs. The diagram below shows how to drive a
6010 using a single-ended (unbalanced) source.
