TC Electronic AES/EBU
8 channel, digital AES I/O card for EQ Station

The 8 inputs and output channels of audio in AES digital format are made accessible by connecting the AES cable to the 25 pin D-type connector. The AES cable is coded XLR type connector's in numerical order; each carries a pair of digital audio channels.

Take full advantage of EQ Station's tremendous processing resolution with the new optional Digital AES/EBU I/O card. No other equalizer or dynamics processor for live applications come close to this much internal headroom. For a user transitioning to digital mixing, one of the appealing solutions is to start using the EQ Station via the digital domain. Thereby a synchronous, high resolution digital signal path with mastering grade DA converters is provided, and with a lower noise and distortion than what can be found on other converters on digital consoles today.

EQ Station doesn't only feature the ultimate precision resolution; its timing is also magnitudes better than other live processing devices. Predictability counts in professional audio, and EQ Station is the perfect anchor to remove jitter from any interfacing, and provide clean feeds from its analog and digital outputs. DA, sample rate conversion and even interfacing reliability is readily compromised when jitter from long cable runs, or less than perfect digital transmitters, is present in the signal path. Therefore, jitter rejection is a major quality guarantying factor. Jitter rejection and timing circuitry of EQ Station is built on the experience from the acclaimed TC System 6000.

On the user side, TC's long time experience with digital interfacing helps diagnose if synchronicity on any of EQ Station's digital inputs fails, while clock back-up options ensures uninterrupted operation, even under severe operating conditions.
