Precautions For Use; Connections; Connecting Using Es-Link Analog - Esoteric Grandioso D1x Mode D'emploi

Precautions for use

o These units are very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during
installation .
o Do not install these units in locations that could become hot . This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radiator,
heater, stove or other heating equipment . Moreover, do not place
them on top of an amplifier or other equipment that generates
heat . Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation .
o Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to excessive
humidity or dust .
o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")
between these units and walls and other equipment when install-
ing them . If you put them in a rack, take precautions to prevent
overheating by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the tops
of the units and at least 10 cm (4") open behind them . Failure to
provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result
in fire .
o Place these units in stable locations .
o Do not place anything on top of the units .
o Do not put cloth on top of the units or place them on top of bed-
ding or thick carpet . Doing so could cause them to overheat or
damage them .
o The voltage supplied to the units should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panels . If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician .
o Do not move the units during use .
o Do not open the bodies of the units as this might result in damage
to the circuitry or cause electric shock . If a foreign object should
get into one of the units, contact your dealer .
o When removing a power plug from an outlet, always pull directly
on the plug . Never pull on the cord itself .
o The ES-LINK format is unique to ESOTERIC and is not compatible
with the HDMI specification . Do not connect the ES-LINK connector
to an HDMI connector on a device made by another company .

Amplifier with
ES-LINK Analog (ESL-A)
connectors
Use XLR audio cables to connect the analog audio output (XLR/ESL-
A) connectors on these units to an amplifier that has ES-LINK Analog
(ESL-A) connectors .
o Set the analog outputs (AOUT) for the units to ESLA .
o You can also connect using XLR or RCA connectors . Select the
connection type that provides the audio quality you prefer .
ES-LINK Analog overview
Using a current transmission method that utilizes the high-performance
of an HCLD buffer circuit, which boasts the ability to supply strong
current at high speed, the effects of impedance on the signal path are
suppressed and transmitting signals purely and powerfully is possible .
o Ordinary balanced cables (with XLR connectors) are used for
connection . These connectors can only be used with compatible
devices, however, because the transmission format is unique .
