Anyone else notice that the new OE14 Card has specs of EIGHT by Speakerlink outs
The older OE12 Card had FOUR by SPDIF outs, with the SPDIF going to the one of your FOUR DSP Pair and the other Cable running from that DSP over to its L/R Companion in that pair
It seems that the new Cabling Topography will be different, with each Cat5 Cable Originating from the back of the 861 and going to EACH of the EIGHT Speakers.
If true, then this would be a substantial change, especially for those who had run the Cable Ducting / Channels to suit the Previous Arrangement!!!
Hi Ronnie,
Yep I did, as I interpret it, one has the choice of star wiring each individual DSP back to the processor OR wiring just one of each pair of DSPs and then daisy chaining the 2nd DSP off each pair.
I did not get back to you on the audio advantages of SpeakerLink v SPDIF.
I tried to dig out some “proof” but failed
I believe the main advantage is that because SpeakerLink is a balanced digital signal it is therefore less prone to external noise. Thus my comment that for long runs mounting these new AC12 boxes at the Speaker side would (could?) yield more advantage than installing them at the processor side.
Regards,
Carl
