Figure 2-2 shows cabling between the AES3-1992 out (upper) BNC on the BaseIO panel and an XLR balun connector for digital AES3-1992 output to XLR connections.

The balun (balance-unbalance) converters are passive devices for cabling different connector types while maintaining signal integrity; they are used in male-female pairs. These converters do not change the audio data format.

Figure 2-3 shows cabling between XLR balun connectors for digital AES3-1992 input from XLR connections to the AES3-1992 in (lower) BNC on the BaseIO panel. The balun (balance-unbalance) converters are passive devices for cabling different connector types while maintaining signal integrity; they are used in male-female pairs. These converters do not change the audio data format.

Coax cabling is required to connect these baluns to BaseIO panel connectors.

See Table 2-2 for suppliers of this equipment.

Figure 2-4 shows connections between the optical ADAT out (upper) connector on the Onyx2 BaseIO panel and XLR connectors. This converter supports up to four or up to eight XLR connectors, depending on the equipment. This connection does not change the audio data format (AES3), but does change the subcode (ancillary data), because ADAT and AES3 use different subcode formats.

Figure 2-5 shows connections between XLR connectors and the optical ADAT in (lower) connector on the BaseIO panel. This converter supports up to four or up to eight XLR connectors, depending on the equipment. This connection does not change the audio data format (AES3), but does change the subcode (ancillary data), because ADAT and AES3 use different subcode formats.
