MSD600M - Technical Reference Manual
4.3 Analogue Audio Output
Just like the input module, MSD600M-Input/1, the
output module MSD600M-Output/1 is equipped
with both an analogue and a Digital AES-3 output.
The Analogue Output is designed around the
AK4324 24-bit Digital-to-Analogue converter (DAC)
from AKM®. The converter is of the S/D type with
an amazing dynamic range of 115 dB. The ana-
logue outputs on the MSD600M-Output/1 module
are electrically balanced and are able to output a
+18 dBm signal level.
4.4 Digital Audio Output
The Digital AES-3 Output found on the MSD600M-
Output/1 module is a true transformer-balanced
output specified by AES. The actual AES encoding
is done by the Audio Matrix logic itself on the
MSD600M. The AES-3 outputs will always be syn-
chronous to the used master clock, which either
can be driven from the external sync input or from
an internal 48 kHz clock oscillator.
Combined with the SRC on the input modules this
arrangement enables the MSD600M to be used as
a high performance SRC taking an AES-3 input sig-
nal of any arbitrary sample rate between 32 kHz to
96 kHz and convert it to the internal used sample
rate.
4.5 External Sync Source Input
The External Sync Input on the MSD600M is using
the same high quality Input stages as found on the
MSD600M-Input/1, MSD600M-Input-2D/O and
MSD600M-Input-4D/O modules just using an
AES-3 receiver without any SRC. The MSD600M
can be set to synchronise to an AES-3 signal in the
range 32 kHz to 50 kHz.
4.6 General I/O remote Interface
The Digital I/O module, MSD600M-I/O-23, provide
an easy to use remote control interface for the
MSD600M. At this time (2002) 19 out of the 24
