Standard IEC receptacle. Connect your MP8D an AC socket with the supplied
power cord. Before powering up your MP8D for the first time, make certain
the stated power requirement of the unit matches the voltage supplied by the
AC socket.
If the fuse blows, replaced with a fuse of the correct type only.
This Toslink connector provides a digital output in ADAT lightpipe format. You can
use the AES/EBU output and the ADAT output simultaneously. For example, you
can use the AES/EBU output to input the 8 channels of your MP8D into a digital
mixer and at the same time record the same channels into an ADAT recorder
through the ADAT pipeline.
These female XLR connectors can be used with any balanced microphone. The
MP8D microphone preamplifiers are the same used in Alto Large Format Mixer
TYPHOON and offer an amazing audio quality and headroom. They rival with the
best stand alone microphone preamplifiers available on the market.
Through these stereo1/4" TRS sockets you can send the analogue signal out
and also insert an external sound processor using a Y-type cable.
The female nine-pin (DB9) connector provides 24 bit digital output. This connector
is a professional interface for transmitting the digital audio signal, which comes
configured for AES/EBU output when used the balanced cable with XLR plug. (The
connection details please refer to chapter 5.3)
The Word clock output and input are accessed through these separate BNC
connectors. The internal sample rate can send out 44.1k, 48k, 44.1k 2, 48k 2,
44.1k 4, 48k 4 sampling rate. The Word Clock In scans the incoming sample
rate and automatically synchs to it. These two connectors can daisy-chain
multiple MP8D. The clock signal will be transmitted from "clock out" on one MP8D
into the next MP8D "clock in". In this way, more units can be used together.
