NOTE: Axia recommends using balanced audio for analog audio connections. If unbalanced sources are to
be connected to these inputs, we strongly recommend using a balun (transformer) or balanced-to-unbal-
anced buffer amplifier at the source device. Such devices are readily available, for example the StudioHub
“Match Jack”.
Fig. 1-4: AES/EBU I/O connections
In the center section, you’ll find connections for AES-3 digital audio. There is a single XLR-F for digital audio
in, and a single XLR-M for digital audio out. Between the two XLR connectors are two RJ45 ports for digital audio
in and out, again following the St standard.
NOTE: The xSelector will automatically switch between analog and AES inputs; if a valid AES input signal is
present, this will be used, otherwise the analog input will be used.
Fig. 1-5: GPIO and Livewire network connections
xSelector has two GPIO ports. Each has five opto-isolated inputs and five opto-isolated outputs. The pinout for
the GPIO’s DA-15 connectors is as follows:
