Technical Notes

  • S/PDIF & Analog outputs 1 & 2 are mirrored: don’t use them at the same time
  • The Altitude16 is not compatible with newer generation Ethercon 3D Measurement microphones and accepts only XLR5 connectors for older generation microphones.
  • 4 additional outputs can be used simultaneously with the 16x analog outputs by using the S/PDIF Outputs (coax & optical). This requires activating the +4 option and external DAC..

    • 4x S/PDIF on Toslink / 1x 7.1 PCM
    • 2x Stereo AES/EBU on XLR

Technical Notes

  • The analog output DB25 connectors follow the standard TASCAM analog pinout. This ensures compatibility with most multichannel power amplifiers using the same convention, including the Amplitude16.
  • The digital input/output DB25 connectors use the Doremi / DCI AES3 pinout. This layout is similar to the TASCAM analog pinout, but each position carries a pair of AES/EBU digital channels instead of a single analog channel.
  • The Altitude32 is not compatible with newer generation Ethercon 3D Measurement microphones but accepts both XLR5 and 4x XLR3 connectors for older generation microphones.
  • Analog output 1&2 are mirrored across the analog XLR, analog DB25, AES/EBU XLR and S/PDIF connectors. Don’t use them simultaneously.

Technical Notes

Front power leds are indicating:

  • Normal operation (white), clipping (red), protection (blinking red).
  • Bridge status for each pair of channels (vertical LED bar)
  • With the optional Dante input board, only channel routed through the audio network to the amplifier will be lit

The Power LED indicates:

DB25 Pinouts

Our processors and amplifiers use DB25 connectors.

DB25 pinouts can vary and it's important to ensure that you are using the right cables.

Please refer to the dedicated article covering DB25 pinouts for Trinnov products.
