CT-14

1x4 Digital Audio Coaxial S/PDIF Thru Box

Thank you for purchasing the CT-14, by M Audio. The CT-

14 accepts one S/PDIF digital audio signal via coaxial RCA

connector and duplicates it to four S/PDIF coaxial RCA

outputs, all on the rear of the CT-14. This allows you to

take the S/PDIF output of any digital audio source, such

as a DAT, CD player, digital mixer, etc., and send it

simultaneously to four digital audio targets that are

capable of receiving S/PDIF format signals. The CT-14

will flawlessly pass any coaxial S/PDIF signal having

100kHz or less sample rate and any data width. Its

active electronics assure that the integrity of your digital

signal is never compromised.

The setup example that follows shows what might be a

typical mixing scenario. The output of a digital mixer is

connected to the CT-14 input, while a DAT, computer-

based digital audio card (such as an M Audio “Delta DiO

2496” or “DiO 2448”), a CD recorder, and a D/A

Converter (to feed your monitors) are connected to the

CT-14 outputs. This setup allows the user to take one

mix output and simultaneously record to several mixdown

decks, saving hours of time and possible frustration.

To set up the CT-14 in your system, first make sure all of

your external devices are turned off. Then, using good-

quality 75-ohm coaxial digital cables with male connectors

(digital video cables meet this requirement) for best

results, follow this simple procedure:
