1x4 Digital Audio Coaxial S/PDIF Thru Box
Thank you for purchasing the CT-14, by M Audio. The CT14 accepts one S/PDIF digital audio signal via coaxial RCA
connector and duplicates it to four S/PDIF coaxial RCA
outputs, all on the rear of the CT-14. This allows you to
take the S/PDIF output of any digital audio source, such
as a DAT, CD player, digital mixer, etc., and send it
simultaneously to four digital audio targets that are
capable of receiving S/PDIF format signals. The CT-14
will flawlessly pass any coaxial S/PDIF signal having
100kHz or less sample rate and any data width. Its
active electronics assure that the integrity of your digital
signal is never compromised.
The setup example that follows shows what might be a
typical mixing scenario. The output of a digital mixer is
connected to the CT-14 input, while a DAT, computerbased digital audio card (such as an M Audio “Delta DiO
2496” or “DiO 2448”), a CD recorder, and a D/A
Converter (to feed your monitors) are connected to the
CT-14 outputs. This setup allows the user to take one
mix output and simultaneously record to several mixdown
decks, saving hours of time and possible frustration.
To set up the CT-14 in your system, first make sure all of
your external devices are turned off. Then, using goodquality 75-ohm coaxial digital cables with male connectors
(digital video cables meet this requirement) for best
results, follow this simple procedure:
