How do I connect and use the SONIFEX CM-AESB3 3-Way Passive Digital AES3ID Splitter?

Connecting and using the SONIFEX CM-AESB3 is straightforward. Here's a guide to help you get started:

Connections:

• Input: The single digital audio input uses a female BNC connector, labeled with 'Tip' for the signal and 'Screen' for 0V common (ground).
• Outputs: The CM-AESB3 provides three digital audio outputs (1-3), also via female BNC connectors with the same pin assignment as the input.

Termination Switches:

• Output 2 and Output 3 have termination switches. These are essential when an output isn't connected to a device. Setting the switch to 'terminate' applies a 75-ohm termination, preserving signal integrity, especially over longer cable runs.

Cable Drive Capability: The SONIFEX CM-AESB3 can drive up to 100 meters of 75-ohm coaxial cable across all outputs at sample rates up to 96kHz. This allows for flexible placement of your connected devices.

Important Considerations:

• Install the splitter in a location protected from extreme temperature changes, moisture, dust, and vibration.
• Protect the device from liquids; avoid exposure to dripping, splashing, and water-filled objects.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively use the SONIFEX CM-AESB3 to distribute your digital audio signals.
