Specifications

1/4"

Note that AES/EBU 1/2 can be used as sync sources on the H8000 and H8000A, but

not on the H8000FW.

 See Digital Setup on page 78.

e) ANALOG AUDIO INPUT AND OUTPUT JACKS

The H8000FW’s XLR analog audio output jacks are male. Pin #1 is ground. Pin #2 is

+phase (hot) and pin #3 is -phase.

To "unbalance" the jack, use pins #1

and

#3 as ground and use pin #2 as "hot." Be

aware that this will reduce the maximum output level by 6dB, so you

should usually reduce the output gain by 6dB to compensate.

See Controlling the Level of the Analog and Digital Outputs on page 76.

If either pins #2 or #3 are unconnected, you will get more noise

than signal !

The H8000FW’s analog inputs accept either mono or stereo 1/4" connectors or balanced

XLR connectors. The H8000FW’s XLR input connectors are female. Pin #1 is ground.

Pin #2 is +phase (hot) and pin #3 is -phase. These may be connected to an unbalanced

input as described above.

To "unbalance" the XLR or 1/4" jack, use both pins #1

and

#3 as ground and use pin

#2 as "hot."

If either pins #2 or #3 are unconnected, you will get more noise and

hum than signal !

These may be used as both line and guitar inputs, depending on the input level setting.

Using a "mono" jack will correctly unbalance the input.

S/P DIF Digital Audio Input/Output (Consumer)

S/P DIF is a consumer digital audio standard, with two audio channels encoded into a

single connector. Use these connectors to hook up the H8000FW to CD players, DAT

recorders, and other audio gear using this format. The connectors are two-conductor

RCA jacks. Your plug should have the shield connected to the sleeve with the single

shielded conductor connected at the tip.
