5.2 Connecting the 6420N Analog to Digital Audio Converter
To connect your 6420N Analog to Digital Audio Converter, as illustrated in
the example in Figure 7, do the following
1
:
1. Connect an analog balanced stereo source (for example, a balanced audio
tape player) to the ANALOG INPUT LEFT and RIGHT detachable
terminal block connector connectors via shielded twisted pair cables.
2. Connect the four different digital output connectors to up to four acceptors,
as follows:
Connect the AES-75 BNC output connector to an AES-75 acceptor
(for example, a DAT-Recorder)
Connect the AES/EBU detachable terminal block output connector
2
to
an AES/EBU acceptor (for example, a DAT-Recorder)
Connect the S/PDIF RCA output connector to an S/PDIF acceptor (for
example, a DAT-Recorder
3
)
Connect the OPTICAL output connector to an optical acceptor (for
example, a DAT-Recorder
3
)
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 7).
4. Set the MODE SELECTOR dipswitches on the 6420N Analog to Digital
Audio Converter to determine the appropriate digital sampling frequency.
5. On the machine underside:
If required, set the switch to PROFESSIONAL or CONSUMER to
determine the digital audio standard format
Set the conversion ratio on the underside of the unit

limits. The selection of the conversion rate greatly depends on the type of audio played, and also on the audio equipment that
is connected to the 6420N
