[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 117599, member: 172"] Re: AES/EBU on 5 or 6 pin XLR AES3 is a balanced signal with a shield conenction, so a 5-pin XLR would work. As DMX cable is also 5-pin, 110 ohm nominal, and intended for 2 data pairs, I'd probably go that route if I wanted to stick with XLR. The only caveat is that AES3 runs at about 6x the data rate of DMX, and so will be pickier about cable. STP cat5 in an Ethercon should also work nicely, and gives you an upgrade path down the road (and with the right breakout wiring, could carry 100Mbit Ethernet in addition to your 2 AES streams - Powersoft is doing this with their KAESOP wiring).
