Frequently Asked Questions
What is AES/EBU and when do I need it?
AES/EBU is the balanced digital connection over XLR with 110 ohms impedance. You need it if your transport and DAC have matching XLR digital sockets, typically with separate transport-DAC combinations in the upper segment. If your device only has a coaxial digital output, the NF-75 is the right choice instead.
What length is the NF-S2 available in?
In 250 centimetres, ready-made with solid T8 XLR connectors. That's enough for typical rack situations and also when the transport and DAC aren't stacked directly on top of each other. We don't carry a different length here – if you need a special length, just ask and we'll check it out.
Is AES/EBU better than coaxial?
Not categorically. Balanced transmission is more resistant to interference, especially over longer distances and in electrically noisy environments. Over short runs within the same rack, both connections offer little difference. Usually the deciding factor is simply which sockets your devices provide – not the format itself.
Can I use a normal XLR microphone cable?
We'd advise against it. Microphone cables aren't designed for 110 ohms; with high-frequency digital signals, that leads to reflections and, in unfavourable cases, dropouts. The connector fits, but the line is built for a different job. For AES/EBU, use a cable specified for it.
Why buy the ViaBlue NF-S2 from HD Zürisee?
Because digital connections rarely fail because of the cable, but because of the wrong socket or the wrong expectation. We look with you at what your transport and DAC actually offer, and tell you honestly when coaxial is enough. HD Zürisee in Wädenswil is an authorised specialist dealer with its own in-house technician.
