Connecting using ES-LINK Analog

ES-LINK Analog overview

The current transmission method utilizes the performance of HCLD
buffer circuits that 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.

ATTENTION
Set the analog output setting to ESLA on the source device before
connecting it.
Use XLR cables to connect the analog audio output (XLR/ESL-A)
connectors on the source device to the analog audio input (ESL-A)
connectors on this unit.
o Set the operation mode to ESLA for the input connectors on this
unit that are connected to the source device (page 23).
o You can also connect using XLR or RCA connectors. Select the
connection type that provides the audio quality you prefer.

o Set the power amplifier input selector to ESLA.
o No setting is necessary on this unit.
ATTENTION
The ESL-A output connectors of this unit are female-type connectors
to prevent accidental connection with XLR output connectors.
