to correspond).
Inputs
Analogical audio inputs are balanced, using
XLR female connectors. Connect the
PROGRAM OUTPUTS of your console to
these inputs.
Connect always both inputs.
If the console has mono output, use a
cable.
Optionally; the 462dsp/AM has digital AES-3
(AES/EBU) I/O, for Digital AM . This input
supports 16/24 bits and sample rates from 30

When the digital input is used, we
recommend connecting the analogical inputs

these inputs in case of failure on the AES-3
signal.
