We had the following issue with some Moseley Starlinks some time ago. I 
believe the problem has been fixed by Moseley and newer units should 
work ok.

You may have to register to get to the above link.

The Starlink as originally unmodified set  a AES as "data" and also set 
a "digital preemphasis" bit.  This will keep some AES input exciters and 
processors from working.  The tech bulletin explains how to lift two 
pins on an IC to take care of the  problem.

Better have a magnifier handy!
