A
SIGNAL GND grounding terminal
Connecting this grounding terminal to the grounding terminal
of an audio source device, amplifier or other equipment might
improve the audio quality .
o This is not an electrical safety ground .
B
Digital audio input (DIGITAL IN) connectors
Use these to input digital audio .
Connect these to the digital output connectors of digital devices
(including the Grandioso P1, P-01, P-02, P-03, P-05, P-02X and
P-05X) .
ES-LINK: HDMI cable
o The shape of the ES-LINK connector is the same as that of an
HDMI connector, but it transmits signals that are in a unique
ESOTERIC format . Do not connect the ES-LINK connector to
an HDMI connector on a device made by another company .
ES-LINK and HDMI connectors are not compatible .
Use commercially-available cables for the following
connections.
XLR: XLR digital cable
RCA: RCA coaxial digital cable
OPTICAL: optical digital cable
o We recommend using ES-LINK when connecting to a P-05X .
o The XLR connectors support Dual AES . If the digital source
device that you are using supports Dual AES, use two cables
to connect the left channel unit XLR connector to the left
digital output on the audio source device and the right chan-
nel unit XLR connector to the right digital output on the
audio source device .
XLR connectors can be connected in the following two
ways .
Single connection (AES/EBU)
This transmits both left and right audio signals through
one signal line .
Dual connection (Dual AES)
This transmits left and right audio signals through sepa-
rate signal lines .
C
CLOCK SYNC IN/OUT connectors
Use these to input and output clock synchronization signals .
When using a clock generator, connect its clock output connec-
tor to this unit's CLOCK SYNC IN connector .
Connect the CLOCK SYNC OUT connector to a clock input con-
nector on a digital audio source device .
Use commercially-available BNC coaxial cables for these
connections.
D
Analog audio output connectors (LINE OUT)
These output 2-channel analog audio . Connect the XLR or RCA
connectors to an amplifier .
Connect this unit's R connector to the R connector of the ampli-
fier, and its L connector to the L connector of the amplifier .
Use commercially-available cables for the following
connections.
XLR: balanced XLR cables
RCA: RCA audio cables
o Analog audio output can be set to either the RCA or XLR con-
nectors (XLR polarity can be set to pin 2 HOT, 3 HOT or ESL-A)
(page 12) .
o When connecting this unit with a Grandioso F1, we recom-
mend connecting the XLR connectors to the Grandioso F1
ES-LINK Analog (ESL-A) connectors (page 7) .
E
Power inlet (~IN)
Connect the included AC power cord to this socket . After com-
pleting all other connections, plug the power plug into a power
outlet .
V
Use only a genuine ESOTERIC power cord. Use of
other power cords could result in fire or electric
shock.
V
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet if you
will not use the unit for a long time.
Use BNC coaxial cables with 50Ω or 75Ω impedance.
At ESOTERIC, we use ESOTERIC MEXCEL stressfree cables for
reference .
