TASCAM IF-AE8HR 7

AWORD SYNC – THRU (AUTO TERM)

This BNC connector echoes the word clock which is

input at the WORD SYNC – IN connector 9.

If no connection is made to this connector, it is auto-

matically terminated.

BWORD SYNC – OUT (STD Fs)

This BNC connector outputs a standard-frequency

word clock: either 44.1 kHz when 44.1k or 88.2k is

selected, or 48 kHz when 48k or 96k is selected.

CWORD SYNC – OUT (HI Fs)

This BNC connector outputs a high-frequency word

clock: either 88.2 kHz when 44.1k or 88.2k is

selected, or 96 kHz when 48k or 96k is selected.

NOTE
These clocks output from B and C may or may not
be the same as the clock received at WORD SYNC –
IN 9 and retransmitted through WORD SYNC –
THRU (AUTO TERM) A. However, they are always
the word clock selected using the CLOCK switch 3.

D~ IN (power in)

Use the supplied power cable to connect the IF-

AE8HR to the power supply. Always ensure that

your power supply matches the requirements marked

on the rear panel of the unit. If you are in any doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.
