Digital Breakout Cable
S/PDIF Digital Audio Input & Output
RCA phono jacks are the standard coaxial connectors
used for S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace)
connections. A single jack carries two channels of
digital audio. The E-MU 0404 receives digital audio
data with word lengths of up to 24-bits. Data is
always transmitted at 24-bits.
S/PDIF digital I/O allows you to receive and/ or
transmit of digital data from external digital devices
such as a DAT, external analog-to-digital converters or
external signal processors equipped with digital
inputs and outputs.
S/PDIF can also be transmitted and received via the
TOSLINK optical connectors on the Digital Breakout
Cable. Optical connections have certain advantages
such as immunity to electrical interference and
ground loops. Make sure to use high quality glass
fiber light pipes for connections longer than 1.5
meters.
The optical S/PDIF and RCA coaxial S/PDIF Inputs
cannot be used simultaneously, however BOTH
S/PDIF Outputs are available simultaneously
(carrying the same signal). See System Settings.
