Bartok XLR inputs

[Ermos (Erno)]

Ah, the 2 AES digital inputs. Yes, they also use XLR cables (AES3). But be careful to not mix analog XLR signals and digital AES/ XLR ones. Therefore it is best not to refer to AES inputs as “XLR inputs”.

The 2 AES inputs are used together for Dual AES sources, a single AES input for Single AES sources.

[FAQ] What is a Dual AES interface?

Dual AES is a digital audio interface invented by dCS in 1995 to allow high sample rate data to be split between two base-rate data streams for easy storage on the digital recorders of the time. For example, a stereo pair of 96kHz data could be split into two 48kHz streams and recorded as 4 tracks on a 48kS/s recorder. To replay, the 4 tracks are transmitted over two AES3 cables to the DAC, which reconstructs the original 96kS/s data. Dual AES was offered as an open standard and it was added to…

It has nothing to do with mono or stereo!
