Roland has licensed this technology from the TPL Group. 2 Before You Use the Unit For the Purchaser -- Please Read The SI-AES4 is not user installable. Installation must be carried out by an authorized Roland Service Technician. Checking the Included Items · SI-AES4 This is a 4-channel digital input module for the S-4000S. It provides for the input of digital audio that complies with the AES/EBU standard. · Ferrite cores(2) How to Use the Ferrite Core 1. Spread open the tabs and open the ferrite core. 2. Attach the ferrite core near the XLR connector on the AES/EBU cable. 3. Close the ferrite core by squeezing together the two halves until you hear them click into place. 4. Connect the plug that has the ferrite core attached near it to the AES/EBU connector on the SI-AES4. Main Features · 4-channel input of AES/EBU-compliant digital audio · Built-in sample rate converter providing high sound quality for all inputs · Support for a variety of sampling frequencies, up to a maximum of 96 kHz 3 Names of Things and What They Do 1 2 3 1 AES/EBU input jacks A and B These jacks are for input of AES/EBU-compliant digital audio. Use cables that meet AES/EBU standards. The SI-AES4 does not support double-wire operation. 2 LOCK indicators A and B These indicate whether the A and B inputs are correctly synchronized. LOCK Lighted Flashing Unlit Description Correctly synchronized Unable to synchronize No input If a LOCK indicator flashes and correct synchronization is impossible, check the signal format, sampling frequency, and the like for the source device. 3 Sampling frequency indicators A and B These display the sampling frequencies of the A and B inputs. If a LOCK indicator is unlit, check for a broken cable and make sure the output device is working correctly. The OTHER indicator lights up when a digital signal at a sampling frequency other than 44. 1, 48, or 96 kHz is input. When the sampling frequency is 88. 2 kHz, OTHER and 44. 1 kHz both light up. 4 Applications This shows a connection example for sending microphone and line inputs from the stage (32 channels) to a digital mixer and digital recording device via AES/EBU, and providing line outputs on the stage for AES/EBU outputs from the digital mixer.
