6410N, 6420N - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer 6410N, 6420N away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

6410N, 6420N - Overview

3 Overview

Both the 6410N Digital to Analog Audio Converter and the 6420N Analog to Digital

Audio Converter use digital audio transmission standards, as Section 3.1

describes.

This section summarizes the:

Digital and audio outputs on the 6410N and 6420N (see Section 3.1)

6410N (see Section 3.2)

6420N (see Section 3.3)

3.1 Digital Audio Inputs/Outputs on the 6410N and 6420N

Figure 1 illustrates the transmission standards for professional and consumer

formats, which can be translated via the 6410N/6420N.

Figure 1: Professional and Consumer Inputs/Outputs on the 6410N / 6420N

3.2 About the 6410N

The 6410N is a high performance format converter for digital audio signals. It

converts AES/EBU, AES-ID3, S/PDIF or Toslink® optical digital audio signals

simultaneously to:

As Figure 6 illustrates, the sound is output from both the amplifier and the headphones

simultaneously.

6410N, 6420N - Overview

Unbalanced stereo on a 3.5” jack, capable of driving a 32load

(headphones)

In particular, the 6410N:

Supports multi-standards - AES/EBU, IEC 958, S/PDIF and EIAJ

CP340/1201 professional and consumer formats with sampling frequencies

up to 96kHz

Provides automatic equalization and reclocking of the digital audio stream

coming from any digital input

Automatically detects the sample rate of the digital input, ranging from 32kHz

to 96kHz

Features selectable conversion ratio (D/A) settings: 0dBFS to +12dB,

+16dB, +20dB or +24dB

Has an S/N Ratio of over 88dB

Has AES/EBU and AES-ID3 transformer coupled inputs

The 6410N is 12VDC fed and is housed in a DigiTOOLS enclosure.

3.3 About the 6420N

The 6420N is a high performance format converter for balanced audio signals. It
