Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

there is a special requirement for S/PDIF on coax cable!

>>>Yep, you can use any old RCA cable, but chances are you'll get a lot of 
clicks and pops. <<<

the cable itself needs to be rated for 75? capacitance, the same as 
video-grade cable.

>>>That's 75 ohm for those of you who don't know. These are relatively 
cheap cables you can get anywhere, even at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. 
<<<

I have used the S/PDIF jack on my XL-7 with no problems whatsoever.

>>>Ditto, I used to get the random click or pop that I had to draw out in 
Wavelab, but once I got a better cable, that stopped too.  The signal is 
relatively quiet for reasons that have been discussed MANY times on this 
list, but it works just fine for me.  Tips for a better signal:

- Use a quality 75ohm cable made for SPDIF transfers, just don't spend a 
rediculous amount of money (ie Mogami cable) as it's not needed.
- Keep the cable as short as possible.
- You can try earthing the plug jacket to one of the XX-7's case screws.
- Don't cross SPDIF cables over your power cables.  <<<
