Kramer 6410N [16/21] Connecting the 6420n analog to digital audio converter

6410N, 6420N - Using the Audio Converters

5.2 Connecting the 6420N Analog to Digital Audio

Converter

To connect your 6420N Analog to Digital Audio Converter, as illustrated in the

example in Figure 7, do the following:

1. Connect an analog balanced stereo source (for example, a balanced audio

tape player) to the ANALOG INPUT LEFT and RIGHT detachable terminal

block connector connectors via shielded twisted pair cables.

2. Connect the four different digital output connectors to up to four acceptors,

as follows:

 Connect the AES-75 BNC output connector to an AES-75 acceptor

(for example, a DAT-Recorder)

 Using a 110 shielded twisted pair cable, connect the AES/EBU

detachable terminal block output connector to an AES/EBU acceptor

(for example, a DAT-Recorder)

 Connect the S/PDIF RCA output connector to an S/PDIF acceptor (for

example, a DAT-Recorder)

 Connect the OPTICAL output connector to an optical acceptor (for

example, a DAT-Recorder)

3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the

adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 7).

4. Set the MODE SELECTOR dipswitches on the 6420N Analog to Digital

Audio Converter to determine the appropriate digital sampling frequency.

5. On the machine underside:

 If required, set the switch to PROFESSIONAL or CONSUMER to

determine the digital audio standard format

 Set the conversion ratio on the underside of the unit

It is essential that you choose the correct conversion rate to prevent clipping and

to maintain the S/N ratio within the spec limits. The selection of the conversion

rate greatly depends on the type of audio played, and also on the audio

equipment that is connected to the 6420N.
