Specifications

MaXiO XD EX8000
EX8000 as standalone AD and DA converter for any ADAT compatible devices such as digital
mixers or ADAT multitrack recorders. [MODE 5] only works with 44.1 or 48 kHz (due to ADAT
format limitations).

[MODE 6] equals [MODE 5] with the difference that S/MUX is enabled. This means that only 4
instead of 8 channels are transferred, but the supported sample rates are now doubled. [MODE 6]
only works with 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz.
3.2.8 Channel Mapping
The following table shows the mapping of the I/O channel assignment of EX8000. This is
especially important when you work with S/MUX enabled. Note that S/MUX 4 (192 kHz) only can
be used when EX8000 is connected to the MaXiO PCI host card. In the table, E.D.I refers to the
connection to the PCI card.
