AES/EBU OUTPUT

nprime · Post by **nprime** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 3:56 pm

I am trying to activate my AES/EBU digital outs on my Pulsar II/Scope project card and I cannot find any options for this in the routing window's drop down menu under Hardware I/O's.Is it somewhere else?

I see SPDIF destination, but no AES/EBU destination. I tried activating the SPDIF (professional and/or consumer)and didn't get any signal, nothing.

Was AES/EBU even ever implemented?

AES/EBU working here on pulsar1, using spdif src and dest modules.

Nothing special to do.

I wonder what I am doing wrong...better check everything again, and swap cables...Thanks for the feedback.

I notice that the SPDIF Dest. module has a "DIG In" what connects to that?

Manual states: [...] S/PDIF dest: These represent the card’s S/PDIF digital outputs. Use the Dig connection to send audio data from the Digital Wave source module to this output(both modules have a Dig connection)

Are you using optical or electrical output?

I am trying to go from the Mixer outputs into the SPDIF Dest. module. Is that not possible?

Am I to understand from the manual that you cannot use both the ADAT connections and the AES/EBU connections at the same time? If that's the case then this is all irrelevant, I need to be able to do both. If it's either/or then it's no help.

AES/EBU is the xlr like cable that's part of pulsar + IO plate.

No optical output there.

And yes, you can use the aes/ebu as an output from cw mixers, so, instead of sending to analog out, you send to digital aes/ebu out to a digital module like a 31 bands graph EQ before sending to monitor for example.

Like this one :

I am just trying to connect the AES/EBU XLR cable to my TASCAM DA-30 DAT machine to use it as a headphone monitor.

I have plugged the AES/EBU Out to the DA-30 AES/EBU in, selected the correct input on the front panel of the DA-30.

Then, in the routing window, I connected the output of the Scope mixer to the Left and Right Input on the SPDIF Dest. module and...nothing.

Don't know the da30, but it's a recorder? can't you rec enable it to monitor thru it?

If not, can't help you... don't know da30...

sorry

Yes, it has monitor enabled. I use to use it ages ago with a Digidesign system, so I do know how it works.

I have done this before, in other words.

Do both the in and out AES/EBU have to be connected? I am only using the out. I have no use for the in, actually.

Well. don't I feel stupid.

I have the Mixer outs going to the SPDIF Dest. module and the Analog Dest. module.

The analog destination module connects directly to my Amp, so I have the the mixer output gain turned way down.

When I turn it up, guess what? Signal to the DAT machine...

This is one of those "D'oh" moments.

Thanks for your help, sorry to have wasted some of your time.
