Specifications

Eventide recommends the use of professional quality cables made of RG-59/U coaxial

cable. Ordinary "hi-fi" type leads will probably prove inadequate. Eventide does not

recommend the use of S/PDIF at sample rates above 48kHz.

f) S/P DIF 1/2 INPUT AND OUTPUT JACKS

To enable the S/P DIF digital input 1/2, set DIN 1/2

on the inputs menu page in the SETUP area to S/P

DIF. This will disable AES1/2.

Note that these connectors can be used as sync sources on the H8000 and H8000A, but

not on the H8000FW.

 See Digital Setup on page 78.

g) S/P DIF 3/4 INPUT AND OUTPUT JACKS

To enable the S/P DIF digital input 3/4, set DIN

11/12

on the inputs menu page in the SETUP area to

S/P DIF. This will disable AES11/12. The input

circuitry for S/P DIF 3/4 allows better performance than S/P DIF 1/2 and will operate

better at 96kHz or with long leads.

h) FOOT PEDAL JACKS 1 AND 2

Stereo 1/4" connectors. The sleeve is ground reference, the ring is +5 volts (source), and

the tip is an analog signal from 0 to 5 volts. Connect either foot switches, foot pedals, or

control voltage sources to these inputs to modulate parameters or to trigger events

(including remote program loads).

 See Foot Pedals 1 and 2 on page 92.

i) RELAY JACK

Two relays are connected to this stereo 1/4" connector. They can be controlled from

suitable programs, allowing the H8000FW to drive real-world equipment, and can switch

up to 1A at 30V dc. Relay #1 is connected between ring and sleeve, while Relay # 2 is

connected between ring and tip. All of these connections are electrically isolated from the

H8000FW. See the separate Programming Manual for information on controlling the

relays.

OPTICAL INPUT AND OUTPUT JACK

These send and receive digital audio to and from other ADAT-capable devices, using a

standard "light-pipe" connector. They also support SMUX operation, carrying four

channels at 88.2 or 96kHz. To use signals from the ADAT input, select them at the
