7) Power Connector — accepts the power jack from the 6 VDC power supply. Refer to
“External Power” for more information regarding external power.
8) Power LED — the large green LED below the power jack lights when power is applied.

1) AES Balanced Input — the AES IN XLR connector accepts a balanced AES input
signal.
2) AES Unbalanced Input — the AES IN BNC connector accepts an unbalanced AES
input signal.
NOTE: Do not connect both AES inputs at the same time.
3) Right Channel Analog Output — provides decoded right channel output at analog line
level, adjustable via R GAIN on the front panel.
4) Left Channel Analog Output — provides decoded left channel output at analog line
level, adjustable via L GAIN on the front panel.
DAC-24 Installation
This section provides instructions for connecting power, AES inputs, and analog outputs.
Connecting Power
Plug a 6 VDC power supply into the appropriate voltage outlet for your specific country, and
connect the end of the cord into the DAC-24 jack marked +6V. Secure the locking ring finger
tight. The green LED below the jack lights when power is applied.
Connecting Inputs
Connect a digital input signal, between 30 KHz and 50 KHz sampling frequency, to one of the two
inputs marked AES IN. The ERR LED on the front panel will light until a valid input signal is
applied.
NOTE Do not connect both AES inputs at the same time.
The inputs are normally terminated internally with 110
Ω
(AES3) and 75
Ω
(AES3id). When you
need to loop an input signal to several SoundPals, the signal must be terminated only once, and
always at the last unit in the chain. Refer to the “DAC-24 Internal Jumpers” section for
information on changing the input termination.
