gANALOG INPUTS 1-8 connector

This 25-pin D-sub connector is for analog balanced line input. The pin assignments are as follows.

13	1
25	14

hANALOG INPUTS A and B connectors

These A/B balanced XLR connectors are for analog balanced line inputs (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD). Set which channels the signals input through these connectors are recorded to using the unit settings.

jDIGITAL I/O (ADAT) 1-8 connectors

These connectors are for the input (IN) and output (OUT) of ADAT optical format digital audio. Sampling frequencies of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are supported.

kREMOTE cover

This cover is attached when the unit is new. Remove the two screws from the cover to access and use the REMOTE connector.

lRS-422 connector

This 9-pin D-sub connector is for RS-422 serial control. Connect an external controller, for example, here.

NOTE

This cannot be used at the same time as the RS-232C connector. (See “RS-422 page” on page 48.

;RS-232C connector

This 9-pin D-sub connector is for RS-232C control. Connect an external controller, for example, here.

NOTE

This cannot be used at the same time as the RS-422 connector (See “RS-232C page” on page 48.)

xAC inlet

Connect the provided AC power cord set here.

cANALOG OUTPUTS 1-8 connector

This 25-pin D-sub connector is for analog balanced line output. The pin assignments are as follows.

131

vANALOG OUTPUTS L/A and R/B connectors These A/B balanced XLR connectors are for analog balanced line outputs (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD).

These output the stereo signal mixed in this unit or the monitoring signal (the same sound output from the PHONES jack, including soloed tracks, etc.).

bDIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) 1-8 connector

This 25-pin D-sub connector is for digital audio input and output in AES/EBU (AES3-2003/IEC60958-4) format.

Transmission occurs at double speed when the sampling frequency is 88.2 or 96 kHz and at quad speed when 176.4 or 192 kHz.

The digital input section includes a sampling rate converter that is compatible with sampling frequencies between 32–216 kHz.

The pin assignments are as follows.

Digital In	Digital Out

zPARALLEL connector

This 25-pin D-sub connector is for parallel control. Connect an external controller, for example, here.
