Wiring AES/EBU inputs and outputs on a StudioEdge

Scope

This document covers wiring of the AES/EBU inputs and outputs on the StudioCore and StudioEdge.  Part numbers covered by the document are;

  • 2001-00631 StudioEdge

  • 2001-00632 StudioEdge with Dual PSU

  • 2001-00633 StudioCore

  • 2001-00634 StudioCore with Dual PSU

  • 2001-00635 StudioCore + CAN

  • 2001-00636 StudioCore + CAN with Dual PSU


Description

The AES/EBU Inputs and outputs are shown as item 10 on this image.  AES/EBU Outputs are on the top connector.  AES/EBU Inputs are on the bottom connector

All connections are fully described in the Quick Start Guide

The RJ45 connectors for AES/EBU Inputs and outputs on the StudioEdge and StudioCore only partially use the StudioHub wiring standard, as they carry all three available AES/EBU channels on a single connector.


Wiring

When using standard RJ45 adapters that follow the StudioHub standard, the first two AES/EBU Inputs and the first two AES/EBU outputs are available via the Left (AES/EBU1) and Right (AES/EBU2) connectors

If the third AES?EBU channel is needed a custom cable will be required.  As of this writing this cable is not avilable for purchase from any known suppliers.

The AES/EBU inputs and outputs use the first three pairs of the RJ45 connector.  

In the TIA/EIA 568B standard, that is;

  • Pair 1 - Orange pair - Pins 1 & 2 (AES 1)

  • Pair 2 - Green pair - Pins 3 & 6 (AES 2)

  • Pair 3 - Blue pair Pins 4 & 5 (unused)

  • Pair 4 - Brown pair - Pins 7 & 8 (AES 3)

In the TIS/EIA 568A standard, that is;

    • Pair 1 - Green pair - Pins 1 & 2 (AES 1)

    • Pair 2 - Orange pair - Pins 3 & 6 (AES 2)

    • Pair 3 - Blue pair Pins 4 & 5 (unused)

    • Pair 4 - Brown pair - Pins 7 & 8 (AES 3)

Regardless of the cable standard used, the direct pins are shown here.

Note the pair on pins 4 and 5 of the RJ45 are not used
