Connecting using ES-LINK Analog

ES-LINK Analog overview

The unique ESOTERIC ES-LINK Analog transmission method utilizes the performance of HCLD buffer circuits, which feature the ability to supply
strong current at high speed . This suppresses the impact of impedance on signal paths, enabling pure and powerful transmission of signals .
o Ordinary balanced cables (with XLR connectors) are used for connection . These connectors can only be used with compatible devices,
however, because the transmission format is unique .

Integrated amplifier that supports ES-LINK Analog
Use XLR cables to connect the analog audio output (ESL-A XLR) con-
nectors on this unit to the ES-LINK Analog input (ESL-A) connectors
on the integrated amplifier .
o Set this unit's analog audio output setting (LOUT>) to ESLA
(page 26) .
o Set the integrated amplifier input selector to ESLA .
o Set the analog audio output level setting (L_VOL>) of the unit to
FIX, and use the integrated amplifier to adjust the volume .
NOTE
Normal XLR and RCA connections are also possible . Select the con-
nection type that provides the audio quality you prefer .

Power amplifier that supports ES-LINK Analog
Use XLR cables to connect the analog audio output (ESL-A PRE OUT)
connectors on this unit to the ES-LINK Analog input (ESL-A) connec-
tors on the power amplifier .
o Set the power amplifier input selector to ESL-A .
o Use the VOLUME knob on this unit to adjust the volume .
o Set this unit's analog audio output level setting (L_VOL>) to ON
(page 29) .
ATTENTION
The ESL-A PRE OUT connectors of this unit are female-type connec-
tors to prevent accidental connection with XLR output connectors .
