RME AEB8-I

24 Bit / 48 kHz, 8 Analog Unbalanced Inputs for DIGI96 & HDSP PCI Cards

RME AEB8-I

OPERATING THE AEB4/8-I

Using the Analog Expansion Board is very easy to do, thanks to the clearly structured and informative Settings dialog of the RME cards. The AEB4/8-I operates like any other converter with ADAT output, but is connected internally. Therefore the card's input selector has to be set to 'Internal'.

The AEB gets its clock from the DIGI (thus works as slave.) To avoid a clock loop the card has to be switched into 'Master' mode (field 'Clock Mode'.)

The Input Status display now shows the selected input (Internal), the current sample rate (44.1/48) and format (Adat.)

COMPATIBILITY NOTES

HDSP 9652

Two AEBx-I and two AEBx-O or two TEB can be connected and operated simultaneously, in all possible combinations. One TEB can be used together with either one AEBx-I or AEBx-O.

DIGI96 SERIES

AEBs use the internal ADAT interface of the DIGI cards. Therefore they do not work with the DIGI96 (which did not support ADAT.) To operate the AEB4-I and AEB8-I the used DIGIs must have the connectors ST6/7 on board (for the Word Clock Module.) These were not present on the very first cards of the DIGI96 series (1998 to beginning of 1999.)

One AEBx-I and one AEBx-O can be connected and operated simultaneously, in all possible combinations. Or one TEB.

HAMMERFALL DSP MULTIFACE / DIGIFACE

Multiface and Digiface use the Hammerfall DSP PCI card. This card has no internal inputs or outputs. Therefore no Expansion Boards can be used.

HAMMERFALL SERIES

An operation with the Hammerfall or Hammerfall Light requires board revision 1.5 or higher, because the internal connectors ADAT1Out, ADAT2Out and ST7 were not implemented in earlier versions.

One AEBx-I and two AEBx-O can be connected and operated simultaneously, in all possible combinations. Or one TEB and one AEBx-O.
