Stay away from fallen, broken or damaged power lines. Call to report a downed power line.

Nov 2, 2004 · If you get a sound card with AES or SPDIF inputs you'd be better off to connect your output to the sound card via one of these connections and to your mixer (assuming you're using the mixer to monitor while tracking) - this will give you better recorded quality.

The main difference between XLR and AES/EBU cables can be found in the type of signal they transmit. XLR cables are designed to send analog audio signals whiles AES/EBU cables are used to send digital signals.

AES3 is a standard for the exchange of digital audio signals between professional audio devices. An AES3 signal can carry two channels of pulse-code-modulated digital audio over several transmission media including balanced lines, unbalanced lines, and optical fiber. [1]

Oct 23, 2013 · Digital outputs are great for minimizing AD/DA conversions. When when they stack up they can degrade sound quality depending on the quality of the components in the chain. But whether they're useful to you or not depends on what's next in the chain.

May 4, 2023 · Generally speaking, AES cables use standard XLR connectors and can carry up to two channels of digital audio between audio devices. The most common AES/EBU cable configuration is terminated with 3-pin XLR connectors. Since it transmits digital data, an AES cable with XLR connectors can achieve long cable runs with ease.

Nov 22, 2016 · If your system processor has AES in, you avoid both an AD and DA conversion by going straight digital. If you’re using an amp with DSP built in, some will have an AES input which avoids 2 conversions also.

Sep 26, 2022 · The AES out from receiver is one conversion (inside the receiver) then into an AES input (resampling) on the mixer. It is still only one conversion to digital, but re-sampled. I would challenge anyone to hear the difference but it might be possible in some circumstances.

Aug 19, 2020 · Yes the AES out is audio, but it is unlikely to have any effect on the other items you mention. Transport, digital clock sync, time code, and processing latency are all different things and don't have much to do with each other. Transport (AES, MADI, etc) is audio data and always contains clock sync with it.

Oct 2, 2005 · AES/EBU output puts most cards squarely in the Pro Audio caliber of cards, stuff that might be targeted towards DAW & Studio use rather than consumer audio/gaming. IMO RME and Lynx are the only two soundcards worth considering. The RME HDSP9632 worked well for me because it supported an upgrade path.
