Our wonderful artistic musical world has been flooded with acronym alpha\
bet soup in the last 10 years or
so. Here’s a guide to help you better understand what all those techie terms mean\
.
AES/EBU - The digital communication format standard developed by the Audio Engi\
neering Society and
European Broadcast Union. It puts 2 channels of digital audio through a\
n XLR connector. (Obviously, it
must connect to another AES/EBU port... don ’t expect any great results plugging it into your mic pre.) If...](http://img.usermanuals.tech/thumb/4737/60490/w300_TM-D1000_tutorial_d-30.png "Page 31

I/O - This is a real cool way of saying “input and output. ” Also, it is the last two letters of “Old MacDonald
had a farm, E-I-E-I/O ”. No one knows what the E-I-E part stands for, or why there are 5 space\
s and only
3 of the 5 vowels on that song.

The IF-TAD simply converts the Lightpipe digital format to TDIF digital \
format, converting two optical
cables into one TDIF line for 2 way communication. Again, this can do m\
