    What kind of connection is this?

    Hi Guys,
    Does anybody know what a AES/EBU connection does? It kind of resembles an XLR plug. Thanks in advance for any replys. :roll:

      It's a type of digital audio connection - mostly used on pro gear or high-end stuff.
      There are some things which are impossible to know, but it is impossible to know which things these are. :scratchhead:

          AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union) is the name of a digital audio transfer standard. The AES and EBU developed the specifications for the standard.

          The AES/EBU digital interface is usually implemented using 3-PIN XLR connectors, the same type connector used in a professional microphone. One cable carries both left- and right-channel audio data to the receiving device. AES/EBU is an alternative to the S/PDIF standard.
          Hope this helps.

              AES/EBU digital connection?
              by kpodolski
              Can I use a plain ol' XLR cable to connect the AES/EBU digital out on my CD/DVD player to the AES/EBU digital in on my pre-pro? Or should I spend the money for a specific AES/EBU digital XLR cable?

              thanks!

              XLR Interconnect - Mic or AES/EBU?
              by wildfire99
              I recently picked up a set (used) of A21 and A51 amps. They sound great!

              I want to move away from RCA interconnects and use XLR's. However, I'm not understanding the difference between AES/EBU patch cables and mic cables. I use XLR's at work a lot, and I generally grab whatever has the...

              Hi There,

              I had a quick look through the search facility on this, but couldn't find exactly the answer I was after.

              Could someone please enlighten me on the following

              USB to AES/EBU converter
              by bigburner
              Can anyone point me in the direction of a device that will connect the USB 2.0 output of my laptop to the AES/EBU input of my external DAC?

              I'm hoping to find an inexpensive converter that will bypass the Windows Kmixer and therefore output a bit-perfect signal.

              I know...

              This is a repeat of sorts, because I had this setup working years and years ago when I lived in Livermore, for my bedroom system- and now I wanted to set this up again. Of course, you can never go home, and sometimes things quite working... like the iPad 1 I used in it!


              The motivation...
