spidf to Genelec 7350 AES?

[radix]

Does the Genelec 7350 accept spidf over the AES input? That is, could i use Neutrik BNC to AES adapter OK or even just an RCA to XLR adapter? I want to drive these from a spidf coax switch from a few different computers. So, really I'd have rca to bnc to aes xlr. Or I could splurge on the $99 Hosa box.

It looks like some people have done the straight RCA to XLR cable and been ok.

Thanks,
Marc

I use coaxial spdif with a 110 ohm RCA to XLR cable. Works great with my 8330's.

Which cable do you use? Is it conversion from 75 ohm S/PDIF coax to 110 ohm AES?

This is quite an old thread, but does this solution works?
I'm looking for cheaper ways to get AES/EBU output for my Genelec SAM.
Thanks to @edbosscom I know that 110ohm cable with rca-xlr is ok,
but I wonder whether normal 75ohm rca-xlr cable would also be used for SPDIF(coaxial) to AES/EBU as digital connection(as <3m).

The sound gets better with a digital signal feeding the dsp crossover directly, so digital connection is the way to go. One example:

When I watch television I use the digital output from my Yamaha wxc50 - rca to xlr cable ( 3 meters 75 Ohm ) to my first 8340 with no issues at all. Then daisy chaining to next 8340 with a 110 Ohm xlr cable. The Yamaha can be slightly bettered soundvise with a computer and a good DDC, so the digital output is not the very best you can get - but the sound with digital connection is better compared to yamaha:s analog outputs to my genelecs , which are slightly worse.

I dont know If this helped you.
