XLR: Use balanced XLR audio cables RCA: Use RCA audio cables Connect the R terminal on this unit to the right (R) terminal of the amplifier and the L terminal on this unit to the left (L) terminal of the amplifier. < Analog audio output can be set to on or off and the polarity of the XLR terminal can be set to pin # 2 HOT or pin # 3 HOT (page 22). < You can set the XLR output gain separately (page 22). If the sound is distorted when set to "+6dB", change the setting to "0dB". B USB input terminal Inputs digital audio from a personal computer.

E WORD SYNC connector This allows the use of an externally-generated word clock connection. Connect to a WORD SYNC OUT terminal of an external word clock generator or other equipment that has a word clock output using a commercially available BNC coaxial cable. F SIGNAL GND terminal Connection of this terminal with the ground terminal of another chassis may improve sound quality. < Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth). G Power cord Connect the power cord to the power cord receptacle. After all other connections are complete, connect the power cord's plug to the AC wall socket. Do not use any power cord other than an authentic Esoteric product. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock. Unplug the power cord when you are not going to use the unit for several weeks. C Digital audio input terminals Inputs digital audio. Connect to the digital output terminals of digital devices or to PC cards with S/PDIF digital audio outputs using a commercially available cable. COAXIAL: Use RCA digital audio cables OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cables (TOS Link) D Digital audio output terminal This terminal outputs digital audio signals from a currently playing CD or a device that is connected to the digital audio input terminals of this unit. Connect to the digital input terminals of amplifiers or digital audio devices such as CD recorders, using a commercially available RCA digital audio coaxial cable. < This terminal cannot output digital audio from Super Audio CDs. < Digital output can be set to "OFF", "CD" or "THRU" (page 22). < When recording on a connected device, you cannot record digitally from copy-protected digital audio sources. You can record these signals as analog audio. At Esoteric, we use Esoteric MEXCEL stressfree cables for reference.
