The Roland AE-7000 is an AES/EBU Interface designed to add eight channels of digital audio to a mixer or recorder equipped with an R-BUS connector. It does not contain a sampling rate converter and requires synchronization via WORD CLOCK or digital audio signals to ensure proper operation.
The manual details the front and rear panel controls, including the INPUT STATUS indicators and the CLOCK SOURCE SELECT button, which allows the user to choose between R-BUS, WORD CLOCK, or INPUT A as the sampling clock source. It also explains the specific connection requirements for the R-BUS (RMDB2) and WORD CLOCK connectors.
