Graham Patten Systems AES-DATS Converter Model 21 XLR M Audio to BMC Femail

 The DATS-21 converter can also be used to connect CD players and other consumer devices with S/PDIF digital outputs to balanced AES3 equipment and systems.
 
Because BNC connectors require less panel space than XLRs, routing switchers and other I/O intensive equipment are often equipped with AES3id I/O.  DATS converters facilitate the integration of balanced AES3 equipment into these systems.
 
DATS converters can be used in pairs (source and destination) to interconnect digital audio equipment with AES3 balanced I/O.  They can also be used to integrate professional audio equipment with AES3id unbalanced I/O into balanced AES3 systems.  

For error-free AES transmission over coaxial cable, upgrade your digital audio system with DATS converters.  These passive devices allow equipment with balanced AES I/O to be interconnected using 75Ω coaxial cable.  The result is error-free transmission over greater distances than is possible with twisted pair – up to 1000 feet or more with high quality coax.  Also, DATS converters facilitate the integration of professional equipment with AES3id I/O and consumer equipment with S/PDIF I/O into existing balanced AES systems.  The DATS-10 source converter includes an attenuator pad to ensure correct 4V AES to 1V AES3id levels are maintained.
