News flash!
Just had a talk to Thierry about the linking cable and the RCA--XLR connection between Master and Companion.
There is no setting for the AES/EBU input not even when configured for linking RCA--XLR. The AES/EBU input is strictly 110 ohm at all times.
So I asked Thierry how this could work then!
He says (which I didn't manage to read on the homepage) that when using the RCA--XLR link the linking cable should be 110 ohms and not 75!!! As the system will recognize the impedance of the cable. And this goes for all of us that would like to use the AES/EBU for a streaming input on the Master as well ie use a 110 ohm cable.
Connection is the 'semi-balanced' way as schematically showed on Devs homepage.
I told him about the Audioprana cables and the 75/110 ohm transformation. Thierry said it would not be a problem but less good as their own solution due to adding another transformer in the line of signal.
Strange that they do not mentioning this?
Well, I am ordering some 110 ohm diy cable. Any suggestions for a good one?
Cheers/Mike
