STATUS

 LED indicates the overall system status (Green = OK; Red = 

ERROR).

(2) 

POWER

 connection accepts the included IEC power cable.

(3) 

ULTRANET IN/OUT

 connections offer proprietary ULTRANET networking 

capabilities through by using CAT5 cables with RJ45 connectors. ULTRANET 

allows the user to transmit unidirectionally up to 16 independent channels 

of 24-bit audio. Up to 7 devices can be connected in series on a single 

ULTRANET cable. DM8008 uses ULTRANET to connect with the main  

DM8000 unit.

(4) 

OUTPUTS

 section offers 8 output channels of balanced analogue audio 

using Euroblock connectors.

(5) 

MODE

 switch determines whether the DM8008 outputs channels 1–8 or 

9–16.

Mains power

Each mains inlet should be sourced from its own separate 

wall-mounted mains outlet socket. Otherwise, both mains 

sources must be suitably distributed so as to meet local  

safety regulations.

4.  Analogue Audio Connectors

To ensure the correct and reliable operation of the equipment, only high quality 

balanced, screened, twisted pair audio cable should be used. XLR connector 

shells should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when 

connected and, where appropriate, they should have Pin 1 connected to the 

cable screen.
DM8008 uses Euroblock connectors for all analogue audio connections.
The following graphics offer guidance for correctly wiring common audio 

connectors (XLR, ¼", RCA) to the Euroblock connections.
