This product includes units for the left and right channels . Both units
are used for stereo playback .
A
Digital audio input (DIGITAL IN) connectors
Use to input digital audio signals .
They can be connected to the digital output connectors of a
digital audio device such as the Grandioso P1X .
ES-LINK: HDMI cable
o The ES-LINK format is unique to ESOTERIC and is not compat-
ible with the HDMI specification . Do not connect the ES-LINK
connector to an HDMI connector on a device made by
another company .
Use commercially-available cables for the following
connections.
XLR: XLR digital cable
RCA: RCA coaxial digital cable
OPTICAL: optical digital cable
o We recommend using ES-LINK when connecting to a
Grandioso P1X .
o The XLR connectors support Dual AES . If the digital source
device that you are using supports Dual AES, use two cables
to connect the left and right channel XLR connectors to the
left and right digital output connectors on that device .
XLR connectors can be connected in the following two ways .
Single connection (AES/EBU)
This transmits both left and right audio signals through one
signal line .
Dual connection (Dual AES)
This transmits left and right audio signals through separate
signal lines .
B
SIGNAL GND grounding terminals
The audio quality might be improved by making grounding
connections between these grounding terminals and other con-
nected devices .
o These are not safety grounding terminals .
C
CLOCK 10MHz IN connectors
Use to input 10MHz clock synchronization signals (page 10) .
When using a master clock generator, connect its clock output
connectors to the CLOCK 10MHz IN connectors on the left and
right channel units . Then, set the clock (CLK>) setting to SYNC
(page 14) .
Use commercially available BNC coaxial cables for
connections.
o BNC coaxial cables with 50Ω or 75Ω impedance can be used .
D
SOFTWARE (maintenance) ports
These are used for maintenance . Do not connect anything to
these ports unless instructed to do so by our service department .
E
Left-right channel link connectors (L-R)
Use the included HDMI cable to connect these connectors on
the left and right channel units .
Various settings and right channel audio data are sent from the
Grandioso D1X left channel unit to the right channel unit .
ATTENTION
If these ports are not connected, be sure to use the same set-
tings for both left and right channel units .
F
Analog audio output (LINE OUT) connectors
These output 2-channel analog audio . Connect the XLR or RCA
connectors to an amplifier .
Use commercially-available cables for connections.
XLR/ESL-A: XLR cables
RCA: RCA cables
Connect analog audio output connectors on the left and right
channel units to the left and right connectors on the amplifier .
o Set the analog output to ESLA, XLR2, XLR3, RCA or OFF
(page 15) .
G
AC power inlets (~IN)
Connect the included AC power cords to these AC inlets . After
completing all other connections, plug the power plugs into
power outlets .
