    Yes it does Barry, 110 ohms balanced impedance.
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Aes wasnt a great way to do digital if i remember right. Bnc and coax was the usual way, then i think cat5 cable was used a lot.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    AES was created for the pro users, because they weren't going to spend big money on new wanky wires.

    Why wouldn’t it be a great way to do digital?

    Are there other considerations that made BNC and RCA the “usual” way, rather than the “better” way?

    Why would Ethernet cable be used given it’s impedance?

    Aren’t cables used for AES and XLR different, although using similar connectors?

    D&B has an interesting product philosophy and whilst the above is relative to a certain product it does contain information.

    The document is almost 20 years old, has technology advanced?
