- Balanced digital input
- Balanced digital output
- Balanced analogue inputs with selectable line/microphone gain settings
- Balanced analogue outputs
- Parallel remote input
WORD CLOCK INPUT
In today’s digital studio environment, it is becoming more and more important to be able to
lock/synchronise all digital equipment to a common sampling frequency or house clock. The
effects of ‘unlocked’ equipment are all too noticeable as signal degradation, crackles and
pops as machines ‘clock’ at different rates.
The CDR830 PLUS automatically detects whether there is a valid word clock signal
connected to its word clock BNC input connector and if so, routes all digital outputs via a
sample rate converter that is ‘locked’ to the same sampling frequency as the word clock
input signal. If no valid word clock is detected at the input, then digital outputs will be
clocked out at the 830’s internal clock sampling frequency of 44.1khz.
Note: When locked to an external word clock source, the digital outputs do not transmit p/q subcode information.
BALANCED DIGITAL INPUT
The balanced digital input is compatible with both consumer and professional interface
protocols. It has the electrical characteristics of a professional balanced interface (110
ohm input impedance).
In order to select the balanced digital input as source, perform the following:
- Set the rear panel switch labelled SW2 to position 1. ‘BAL’
- Use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR to select COAXIAL.
BALANCED DIGITAL OUTPUT
The balanced digital output has the electrical characteristics of a professional balanced
interface, the format characteristics of a consumer interface and is always active.
BALANCED ANALOGUE INPUTS
It is possible to record balanced line or microphone level analogue inputs.
In order to select a line level balanced analogue input as source, set the rear panel switch
labelled SW1 to position 2. ‘BAL +4’. Use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR to select
ANALOG.
In order to select a mono or stereo microphone as source, set the rear panel switch
labelled SW1 to position 3. ‘BAL -60’. Use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR to select
ANALOG.

BALANCED ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
The balanced analogue outputs have an output level of +18dBu for 0dBFS.
PARALLEL REMOTE INPUT (DIN 8 pin)
By connecting the circuit shown below, remote control operation of this unit is possible with
external switches. The parallel remote control has priority over the wireless remote control.
When the same buttons are pressed at the same time on both units, operation with the
parallel remote control will have priority.
