Topic: Digital input connection advice for the UFX II
Just got the UFX II. Very nice unit and TotalMix is great! One device I am connecting as an input is a Fractal Audio AXE-FX III guitar processer. I am wondering the best/cleanest connection option? I assume digital to digital would be best? The AXE-FX III has SPDIF (RCA) and AES/EBU digital outputs and uses 48kHz. The simplest stereo connection looks to be via AES/EBU with a single AES/EBU 110 ohm XLR cable. Does that make sense? Output from the UFX II is to my PC/DAW via USB and/or to FRFR monitors via the XLR 1&2 main outputs.
The UFX II User’s Guide states this, “AES/EBU (and SPDIF) can contain Emphasis information. Audio signals with Emphasis have a high frequency boost, requiring high frequency attenuation on playback.
An Emphasis indication gets lost as there exists no standardized interface on computers to handle this information!” Is this of any concern for my application? Thank you.
