These converters are somewhat unique in that they offer 16 channels of Analog-to-Digital or Digital-to-Analog conversion in a single unit. There are two ways that they can be integrated into an AES16 system:
- You can provide a direct cable connection to these devices by using our CBL-AES1603 cable (see: http://www.lynxstudio.com/support_faq_result.asp?q=163). With these cables, Port A would provide 16 channels of input via the AD-16(X) and Port B would provide 16 channels of output via the DA-16(X). In this context, the I/O Configuration Jumpers on the AES16 must be set for 8-channel operation on each port that utilizes a CBL-AES1603 cable. Please consult the AES16 users manuals for information on how to set these jumpers.
Please note: this solution will NOT work with an AES16e.
- You can use our CBL-AES1604 cables which provide 8 XLR inputs and 8 XLR outputs for the AES/EBU signals, connected to D-Sub > XLR cables connected to the Apogees. This involves more cabling, but can be desirable if digital devices with standard XLR AES/EBU connections need to be connected to your system from time to time, or if you need the BNC word clock connections that are on the CBL-AES1604 cables.
