AES Cables


When you need to route multiple channels of digital audio in a professional setting, a digital audio snake is a smart solution. And when you’re interfacing with AES/EBU-equipped digital converters, audio interfaces, and processors, you need an AES snake. Just like any AES cable, an AES snake cable carries two channels of PCM-encoded digital audio, at bit depths up to 24-bit and resolution up to 48kHz. Most commonly, you’ll find AES cables with standard XLR connectors, but you’ll also find BNC and other connectors as well. With an AES digital audio snake, you’ll typically find a DB-25 connector on one end and an assortment of male and female XLR connectors on the other end.


The AES/EBU format was first developed in 1985, revised in 1992, and again in 2003. Also known as AES3, this digital format has remained a standard in professional broadcast and recording studios ever since. With its high bit depth that surpasses the dynamic range of most digital audio converters, and the overall robustness of its cabling and connectors, AES/EBU is positioned to remain a pro audio standard for years to come.
