jeffhenning Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Can the L6 Link input accept a plain, ordinary AES/EBU digital signal? It doesn't mention it in the manual. Thanks, jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I think the AES/EBU terminology applies to the cable type, not the signal carried by the cable. So I don't know what you mean by a 'plain, ordinary AES/EBU digital signal'. The L6 Link connection carries data/signal that conforms to a proprietary Line 6 protocol. Whatever a plain ordinary AES/EBU signal is, devices using L6 Link won't be able to understand it unless it conforms to the protocol. It's like asking whether a Variax guitar will understand a plain ordinary RJ-45 signal. There's no such thing. An RJ-45 connection/cable carries digital data. What matters is the structure (protocol) imposed on that data by the sending/receiving devices, and their mutual understanding of and conformance to that structure. Normally it is used between computers using the ITP protocol. But Variax guitars don't use that protocol - they use, again, a proprietary Line 6 protocol. The cable merely carries the data which is interpreted by the communicating devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_M Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Jeff, The answer to your question is no. The Line 6 system isn't equipped to process digital data conforming to the standard AES/EBU protocols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
