S/PDIF
Co-axial S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format) input and output is available on two phono (cinch) sockets.
S/PDIF input is clocked to the incoming digital stream and can accept standard sampling rates and bit depths up to
192 kHz 24 bit.
Note : If an encoded surround stream is input to the S/PDIF input it will mute. However, we strongly recommend that you
do not do this.
The S/PDIF output offers 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz 16 bit.
Note : This output follows the data returned from the PC or Mac at the clock rate defined in the PC/Mac settings. That is
to say that it is only available during a PC/Mac session and may also be used to connect a PC or Mac to a higher
quality DAC for playback purposes.
Note : There is an automatic muting function on the analogue tape loop which mutes the Tape Out when Tape is
selected as the input to avoid feedback. By default there is no equivalent mute on the USB record and replay connec-
tion. If you wish the USB to behave in the same way as the analogue tape loop your Leema Acoustics dealer can carry
out a modification.
LIPS Connections
LIPS 1>
The two LIPS1 3.5mm four pole jack sockets are provided for use in a system using other suitably equipped Leema units.
Note that special Leema cables MUST be used. The connections are not pin to pin and the cables are directional
colour coded black for source, red for destination. Although no harm will result from incorrect connection, the system
will not work correctly.
LIPS 2>
For control of suitably equipped LIPS2 devices two male XLR-5 receptacles are provided. These will be typically used to
connect a pair of Leema Altair power amplifiers.
