ital outputs [33] and [35] without passing through the frequency converter.

[33] DIGITAL OUTPUT (AES/EBU)

This XLR-type connector outputs digital audio data in AES3-1992 format.

The output sampling frequency will always be

44.1kHz, ±9.9%, as determined by the pitch control (see both 4.2.13, "Varispeed mode" and 3.2, "Pitch control").

R[34] DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL)

This RCA connector accepts digital audio data in IEC 60958 (consumer) format (SPDIF).

The input sampling frequency can be 32 kHz,

44.1kHz or 48 kHz. The MD-801’s internal sam- pling frequency converter will convert them all to

44.1kHz for recording.

If switch 4 of the MODE SET DIP switch bank [43] is set off, the signals input here are echoed at the dig- ital outputs [33] and [35] without passing through the frequency converter.

[35] DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL)

This RCA connector outputs digital audio data in IEC 60958 (consumer) format (SPDIF).

The output sampling frequency will always be

44.1kHz, ±9.9%, as determined by the pitch control (see both 4.2.13, "Varispeed mode" and 3.2, "Pitch control").

R[36] ANALOG INPUTS and trimmers (BALANCED)

These XLR-type connectors accept balanced analog signals at professional (+4 dBu) levels.

The wiring is, as marked on the rear panel: 1=ground, 2=hot (+), 3=cold (–).

The nominal impedance is 2.2 kΩ.

The trimmer potentiometers by each connector may be turned counterclockwise or clockwise to cut or boost respectively the level of the signal received at the inputs. The maximum cut achievable (relative to nominal) is –4 dB and the maximum boost is +7 dB.

As shipped, the trimmers are set to the standard +4 dBu level.

R[37] ANALOG INPUTS (UNBALANCED)

These RCA connectors accept unbalanced signals at the –10 dBV level.

The nominal impedance is 8 kΩ.

[38] ANALOG OUTPUTS (MONITOR)

These RCA unbalanced connectors provide output signals at the –10 dBV level.

The nominal impedance is 220 Ω.

[39]Analog output function DIP switch bank

This bank of four DIP switches is used to control the outputs from the MONITOR and LINE analog out- puts [38] and [40].

They have the following meanings:

No	OFF	ON
	(up)	(down)
			Allows the output mode from both
	REE O	NOO	the LINE and the MONITOR out-
1			puts to be set to MONO or
	S T	M	STEREO , as well as output from
			the PHONES jack.
			When set to SYNCHRONIZE , the
			LINE and MONITOR outputs are
			paralleled. When set to
			INDIVIDUAL , signals are output
			from the MONITOR outputs only
	E		when the PLAY key on the MD-801
	Z	L
			itself, or the MONITOR key on the
	RO N I	ID UA
2			optional RC-801 is pressed. To out-
	H	V	put signals from the LINE outputs
	YN C	NI D I
			when this switch is set to
	S		INDIVIDUAL , use the ONLINE
			key on the optional RC-801, or
			send a “play” command from a
			remote controller connected to the
			serial or parallel interface.
			When OFF , whether the MONITOR
			outputs output a signal depends on
	OF F	ON	the setting of switch 2 in this bank
			(i.e. if switch 2 is on, the
3	OMN	OMN	MONITOR outputs are only active
			when the MD-801’s PLAY key has
	N E	I N E	been pressed). When ON , monitor-
			ing is always on, regardless of from
	L I	L
			where the play command origi-
			nated.
4	Reserved—leave in the OFF position

NOTE

The PHONES output [9] is always active, regardless of the settings made using these switches.

[40]ANALOG OUTPUTS (LINE) and trimmers

These XLR-type connectors output balanced analog signals at professional (+4 dBu) levels.
