The front of the Fireface 802 features four instrument and microphone inputs, two stereo head-
phone outputs, six pots, a power switch, and several status LEDs.
The Neutrik combo sockets of the four Mic/Line inputs
provide XLR and 6.3 mm / 1/4" TRS connection. They
have LEDs for Signal (SIG), Phantom power (48V) and
activated TS input. The latter is high impedance and can
be used as instrument input as well.
The analog outputs 9 to 12 feed the headphones outputs
Phones 1 and Phones 2. These low impedance outputs
of highest quality are able to drive headphones at higher
levels undistorted, no matter if low or high impedance
headphones are used.
State LEDs. WC, AES, ADAT1, ADAT2. Indicate a valid
input signal separately for each digital input. Additionally,
RME's exclusive SyncCheck indicates if one of these
inputs is locked, but not synchronous to the others, in
which case the LED will flash. See also chapter 8.8 /
14.2, Clock Modes - Synchronization.
MIDI LEDs. Indicate separately for input and output if
MIDI is received or transmitted.
The blue LED USB and FW extinguish if no USB or
FireWire connection has been initialised, or has been
interrupted (error, cable not connected etc.).
