The audio connectors of your ADA8000 are electronically balanced and ensure automatic hum and noise reduction. Needless to say, even devices with unbalanced outputs can be connected to the balanced in/outputs of your ADA8000. For this purpose, please use either mono plugs or connect the ring of stereo plugs with the sleeve (when using XLR connectors, pin 1 and pin 3 have to be bridged). Fig. 2. 3: ADAT® IN/OUT and wordclock SYNC All analog input signals are converted into the standard ADAT® format and can be taken at the 8-CHANNEL DIGITAL OUT. This output can be used to feed an ADAT® recorder or any other device featuring an ADAT® input. Please note that a signal present at the DIGITAL IN will not be routed to the DIGITAL OUT. The signal will automatically be routed to the 8 analog LINE OUT connectors. Use the WC IN connector to connect devices for the external synchronization of your ADA8000. This BNC connector is only active, when the respective setting on the rear is made (see ). When, for example, various devices are interconnected in a digital recording system with, say, a digital mixing console, all digital units connected have to be synchronized via a shared wordclock signal. The setting of this switch depends on the application of your ADA8000.
