Step 4 – Connecting the Outputs
Choose one of the following five sections:
Connecting a Single AES or SPDIF Output
do this:
If the
Output Sample Rate
is
88.2
or
96kS/s
, check that your destination
equipment is capable of double speed operation.
do this:
If you have set
Output Mode
to
Normal
, connect the required single wire
output on the dCS 974 rear panel to the matching inputs on the destination
equipment using suitable cables. Signals are available from any of the four
AES/EBU outputs or the three SPDIF outputs simultaneously.
equipment using suitable cables. Signals are available from any of the four
AES/EBU outputs or the three SPDIF outputs simultaneously.
Connecting the SDIF-2 Output
do this:
If the
Output Sample Rate
is
88.2
or
96kS/s
, check that your destination
equipment is capable of double speed operation.
do this:
If you have set
Output Mode
to
Normal
, connect the lower block of DSD/SDIF
connectors on the dCS 974 rear panel to the destination equipment using 3 coax
cables. Connect
cables. Connect
CH1 OUT
to CH1 in,
CH2 OUT
to CH2 in and
WCLK OUT
to
CLK in.
Connecting the Dual AES Outputs
do this:
Check that your destination equipment is capable of Dual AES operation.
do this:
If you have set
Output Mode
to
Dual AES
, connect the
AES 1
output on the
dCS 974 rear panel to the AES 1 (or AES A) input on the destination equipment
and the
and the
AES 2
output to the AES 2 (or AES B) input, using two XLR cables.
Ensure the cables are not swapped. An identical Dual AES pair is available
from the
from the
AES 3
and
AES 4
outputs.
Connecting the Quad AES or DSD Quad Outputs
do this:
Check that your destination equipment is capable of Quad AES or DSD Quad
operation.
operation.
do this:
If you have set
Output Mode
to
Quad AES
or
DSD Quad
, connect the
AES 1
output on the dCS 974 rear panel to the
AES 1
input on the destination
equipment, the
AES 2
output to the AES 2 input, the
AES 3
output to the AES 3
input and the
AES 4
output to the AES 4 input, using four XLR cables. Ensure
the cables are not swapped.
Connecting the DSD SDIF-2 or DSD SDIF-3 Output
do this:
Check that your destination equipment is capable of DSD operation.
do this:
If you have set
Output Mode
to
DSD SDIF-2
or
DSD SDIF-3
, connect the lower
block of DSD/SDIF connectors on the dCS 974 rear panel to the destination
equipment using three coax cables. Connect
equipment using three coax cables. Connect
CH1 OUT
to CH1 in,
CH2 OUT
to
CH2 in and
WCLK OUT
to CLK in.
Note that the default setting for the DSD output clock is 44.1kS/s Wordclock
(rather than Bit clock at 2.82MS/s).
(rather than Bit clock at 2.82MS/s).
do this:
Proceed to Step 5.
