After the successful installation of your sound card, we are now coming to the most important part: the connection of external devices and appropriate software settings for the devices. When connecting analog devices, ensure that the power is off to protect your speakers and your hearing from sudden peaks. For digital devices, be sure to at least reduce the volume of your playback equipment. Overview. The SoundSystem Aureon 7. 1 Space is blessed with a wealth of internal and external connection options. We would like to introduce them to you briefly below: Internal, onboard: CD audio, AUX and TTL. The PC board of the Aureon 7. 1 Space features three plug connectors for analog connections to CD-ROM drives (CD1 and CD2), or other cards such as TV or video expansion modules (AUX). The required cables and plugs are standardized and are generally included with branded products. An external S/PDIF signal with a so-called TTL level (+5 V), as provided by most CD-ROM drives, can be applied to the connector marked CN11. The analog CD-ROM connections are electrically independent (decoupled) and can be used simultaneously. The Aureon ControlPanel software represents both CD signals as a single source, however. From the back, analog: 4 out, 2 in. Six sockets reside on the golden slot plate of your SoundSystem, each waiting for a 3. 5 mm stereo mini-jack. The first four (green; F, R, C/W, BS) are the outputs for eight audio channels and are designed for use with a suitable (surround) amplifier or an active speaker system. The outputs are laid out in the format that you probably already know from 7. 1 hifi applications: F R C/W for the two front speakers (Front, Left and Right) for the two rear side speakers (Rear, Left and Right) for the center speaker (mono) and the subwoofer signal, the so-called LFE channel (also mono). [. . . ] The "Digital" window of the Aureon ControlPanel lets you choose from a variety of sources for digital audio output. The "SPDIF Out" field contains the following options: At the click of the mouse: signal sources and S/PDIF filters. Digital In sends the signal applied to the digital input directly to the digital output without losses. Analog In sends the signal of the analog source you have selected in the "Record" window. Wave Playback delivers the signal output of an audio application directly to the digital output. [. . . ]
