Connections
Analog inputs
The AD10 has "Combo connectors" that can accept XLR or 1/4" T.R.S. or T.S. phone plugs for balanced or unbalanced sources.
The 1/4" input is wired in a standard manner so the tip is the "+" signal conductor for either T.R.S. or T.S. connections. The sleeve is the "-" signal conductor for T.R.S. connections and would be grounded by the sleeve in T.S. connections.
The XLR input is Pin 2 "+" and Pin 3 "-" for normal signal polarity. Thus, for unbalanced XLR connections, the "hot" signal conductor would be connected to Pin 2 and the signal return would be connected to Pin 3.
Digital outputs
The digital outputs consist of (1) male XLR and (1) Toslink optical connector.
The included XLR to RCA adapter can be used to feed a standard RCA to RCA 75 Ohm coaxial "SPDIF" cable for connection to RCA input SPDIF equipment. In the vast majority of cases, the RCA SPDIF input will be compatible with the output of the AD10 without the use of an impedance matching transformer, if cable length conforms to recommendation for coaxial SPDIF connections (<3 meters).
AC Power
90-264 VAC @ 47-63Hz The power supply automatically adjusts to AC inputs in the range of 90 to 264 volts at line frequencies between 47 and 63 Hz. It is not necessary to change any settings.
Operating tips
- For best results when using the Digital Alias-free Emulation(TM) modes; record with the average signal level is as high as possible, without distortion.
- The AD10 will output a signal when set to external Word Clock or AES sync when it is not “locked” to the incoming signal. The output sample frequency may be incorrect; or the sample frequency may be close enough for the receiving device to accept the incoming digital audio with errors such as “clicks” or “mutes.” When operating on external clock; the sample frequency indicator serves as the “Lock” lamp. Unless both the LED in the front panel “CLOCK” column labeled “Word” (or “AES”) and the LED in the “RATE” column indicating the sample rate are both illuminated; the AD10 is not locked to the external clock.
