English A SIGNAL GND grounding terminal Connecting this grounding terminal to the grounding terminal of an audio source device, amplifier or other equipment might improve the audio quality. oo This is not an electrical safety ground. D Analog audio output connectors (LINE OUT) These output 2-channel analog audio. Connect the XLR or RCA connectors to an amplifier. Connect this unit's R connector to the R connector of the amplifier, and its L connector to the L connector of the amplifier. B Digital audio input (DIGITAL IN) connectors Use these to input digital audio. Connect these to the digital output connectors of digital devices (including the Grandioso P1, P-01, P-02, P-03, P-05, P-02X and P-05X). ES-LINK: HDMI cable oo The shape of the ES-LINK connector is the same as that of an HDMI connector, but it transmits signals that are in a unique ESOTERIC format. Do not connect the ES-LINK connector to an HDMI connector on a device made by another company. ES-LINK and HDMI connectors are not compatible. Use commercially-available cables for the following connections. XLR: balanced XLR cables RCA: RCA audio cables oo Analog audio output can be set to either the RCA or XLR connectors (XLR polarity can be set to pin 2 HOT, 3 HOT or ESL-A) (page 12). oo When connecting this unit with a Grandioso F1, we recommend connecting the XLR connectors to the Grandioso F1 ES-LINK Analog (ESL-A) connectors (page 7). E Power inlet (~IN) Use commercially-available cables for the following connections. XLR: XLR digital cable RCA: RCA coaxial digital cable OPTICAL: optical digital cable oo We recommend using ES-LINK when connecting to a P-05X. oo The XLR connectors support Dual AES. If the digital source device that you are using supports Dual AES, use two cables to connect the left channel unit XLR connector to the left digital output on the audio source device and the right channel unit XLR connector to the right digital output on the audio source device. Connect the included AC power cord to this socket. After completing all other connections, plug the power plug into a power outlet. VUse only a genuine ESOTERIC power cord. Use of other power cords could result in fire or electric shock. VDisconnect the power plug from the outlet if you will not use the unit for a long time. XLR connectors can be connected in the following two ways. Single connection (AES/EBU) This transmits both left and right audio signals through one signal line. Dual connection (Dual AES) This transmits left and right audio signals through separate signal lines. C CLOCK SYNC IN/OUT connectors Use these to input and output clock synchronization signals. When using a clock generator, connect its clock output connector to this unit's CLOCK SYNC IN connector. Connect the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector to a clock input connector on a digital audio source device. Use commercially-available BNC coaxial cables for these connections. Use BNC coaxial cables with 50Ω or 75Ω impedance. At ESOTERIC, we use ESOTERIC MEXCEL stressfree cables for reference.
