88 Series Outboard / 8801 Issue 7.6
Older Versions of the 8801
This document contains information on the latest production issue of the
8801 unit.
Some earlier versions of the unit contained the following differences:
1 - The Mic/DI combo connector on the front of earlier units has now been
augmented with separate Mic (XLR) and DI (Jack) connectors on the rear of
the unit as well.
2 - The Key Input signal is now handled by a 9-pin connector, and this
leaves the old Key Input combo connector on the older model, to be re-used
as a Mic Input XLR.
3 - The jack socket (used for the Dynamics Sidechain Linking) and the
combo connector (for receiving the Key Input signal), have now both been
replaced with a single 9-pin connector that handles both of these services on
later models.
The signals for the Dynamics Sidechain Link jack socket on earlier models
were as follows:
Tip Dynamic Link Signal
Ring
0volts
Both Ring and Sleeve are linked internally
on the 8801, so either a mono or stereo jack
can be used.
Sleeve
In all other ways, the earlier issue of the 8801 is identical in operation,
function and audio integrity as the current production model.
