Lectrosonics SRAES3 Audio Output Adapter for SR Series Receivers

An audio output adapter for any SR Series receiver, the Lectrosonics SRAES3 delivers the receiver’s signal as AES3 digital or balanced analog audio.

A selector switch sets the format. AES3/EBU mode runs the digital output at 48 kHz on the adapter’s internal clock. Word clock mode locks to an external word clock at 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz. Analog mode gives balanced outputs from -50 to +5 dBu in 1 dB steps.

Outputs

In the AES modes, one or two channels of digital audio leave the CH1 jack. The receiver’s diversity and mix modes decide whether CH1 and CH2 carry the same signal or two separate ones. The output jacks are TA3 male (mini XLR), and the word clock input is a BNC.

Build and Power

The housing is machined from a solid aluminum billet, and the adapter uses the same connector as every SR Series output adapter. It runs on 7 to 18 VDC and comes as a kit with a power cord and screws. A jumper sets 75 ohm termination on the word clock input, and the jumper lifts out when the clock system terminates the line itself.
