The PCM 80 uses one EIA-standard rack space, and can be mounted on any level surface or in a standard 19 inch (483 mm) rack. If the PCM 80 is mounted in a rack or road case, support the rear of the chassis to prevent possible damage from mechanical shock and vibration.

The maximum ambient operating temperature is 104°F (40°C). Provide ade- quate ventilation if the PCM 80 is mounted in a closed rack with heat-producing equipment such as power amplifiers.

The PCM 80 is equipped with a 3-pin IEC power connector and detachable cord.

The PCM 80 will operate with power sources from 100 to 240 volts AC, 50-60Hz. Power switching to actual line voltage is automatic.

Analog Audio

For best performance, maintain balanced connections, and use high-quality, low-capacitance, twisted-shielded pair cable.

When connecting to single-ended, unbalanced devices, connect the low side to signal ground at the unbalanced piece of equipment. Output level does not change when connected to an unbalanced input.

Mono Applications

Use a Y-connector inserted at the analog inputs and outputs to have the signal summed to mono.

NOTE

Be careful to keep input and output to all channels wired consistently. Out-of- phase wiring can produce audible effects.

Digital Audio

S/PDIF (CP-340 Type II) Consumer Digital Audio I/O. 75Ω coaxial cable suited for digital audio or video signals is required. Audio grade cable is not suitable.

Footswitch/Foot Controller

One 1/4 inch T/R/S phone jack is provided for 2 momentary footswitches. Another 1/4 inch T/R/S phone jack is provided for a footpedal (minimum 100Ω to maximum 10k impedance). Normally open or normally closed momentary switches are suitable. At power on, the PCM 80 assumes the switch is off. Use shielded, twisted-pair cable with shield connected to sleeve. See diagram on previous page.

MIDI

5-pin DIN connectors are provided for MIDI IN, THRU and OUT. Use standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable assemblies, available from your local dealer.
