Single-Wire Operation at 88.2/96 kHz

(DIP Switch #9 DOWN)

With Firmware Revision 3.0.0 onwards, the PSX-100 has the capability of “single wire” operation in addition to

the existing “double wide” specification. The provision of both methods of interfacing at high sample rates makes

the units compatible with the vast majority of AES devices utilizing 88.2/96 kHz sample rates.

The PSX-100 converter previously interfaced high sample rate (88.2/96 kHz) digital audio signals via two AES con-

nectors (so-called “double-wide” mode). Channels 1 and 2 carry the left and right signals respectively with each

channel functioning at half the active sampling rate (i.e., for a 96kHz stereo signal, each side clocks at 48 kHz). This

implementation is compatible with many other companies’ devices including Nagra-D and Genex recorders, and

SADiE digital audio workstations.

Your PSX-100 includes the

additional capability to handle stereo 88.2 or 96 kHz signals via a single cable (so-called

“double-fast” or “single-wire” mode). In this mode, the stereo signals are interleaved in a similar way to the normal

AES implementation for 44.1 and 48 kHz, but at twice the speed. This functionality is also available via the S/PDIF

Coax and Optical interfaces. This feature makes the PSX-100 compatible with the high sample rate functionality of

other manufacturers’ products including TC Electronic and Weiss processors, and many computer digital I/O cards,

while retaining the existing “double-wide” interface capability. Rear-panel DIP switch #9 is used to select the high-

speed interface mode: UP for double-wire, DOWN for single-wire.

Note that “single-wire” interfacing may not be compatible with all devices. Digital audio routers in particular

may not be able to operate at double speed, and digital audio cabling may have a reduced practical operat-

ing length. We advise users to check with their equipment suppliers to ensure compatibility.

With DIP Switch #9 DOWN, when x2Fs is selected, single-wire I/O is implemented on the AES1,AES2, S/PDIF

Coax and S/PDIF optical connections. TDIF and ADAT functionality (including ABS96) remain as before.
