What DigiSnakes does Digidesign offer?

DB25-XLR M+F AES/EBU Snake
  • DB25 to 4 XLR Male and 4 XLR Female.
  • Below 192 KHz, AES/EBU carries 2 channels per line, so this snake transmits 8 out and 8 in via the 8 XLR connectors.
  • At 192kHz sample rate, the 192 I/O is using dual wire transmission. This means the AES snake transmits 4 out and 4 in at 192 kHz. In this case, the connector labeled "output 1&2" is output 1, "output 3&4" is output 2, and so forth.
  • The 4 XLRF wire jackets are yellow; the 4 XLRM jackets are black, all with appropriate labeling..
