3.4 Signal inputs
The V8 amplifier offers three different input signal sources:
Analog
In this mode the analog signals connected to the XLR input connectors will
be used as input signal. In analog mode the
V8
has no signal latency (with
DSP switched off), the audio signal path is pure analog.
AES
In this mode the digital AES input signal connected to the AES XLR input
connector will be used as input signal.
Uman
With the Uman setting the input signals are taken from the Uman Digital
Audio Network Interface.
3.4.1 Analog Input
XLR: Pin 1 = Ground (lifted via 15 Ω resistor to chassis / earth)
Pin 2 = Hot (in-phase, "+")
Pin 3 = Cold (out of phase, "−")
We suggest to always use symmetrically (balanced) shielded cable to con-
nect the amplifier.
The V8 amplifier has a 26 dB and 32 dB voltage gain setting along with a
1,4 V sensitivity setting.
The table shows input sensitivity per channel for a given gain and load. It
also shows the gain for the 1,4 V input sensitivity.

3.4.2 AES Input
The digital AES XLR input accepts any AES/EBU signals (pro or consumer
format) in 16, 18, 20 or 24 bit resolution and from 32 to 192 kHz samplig
frequency. This wide input frequency range of is guaranteed by an inte-
grated sample rate converter (SRC) chip.
3.4.3 Uman Input / Output
The Uman input and output connectors allow you to receive and send
multichannel digital audio streams to other Uman-compatible devices
(like other
V8 amplifiers for example). Please note that altough the Uman
connectors use the same connector type than standard Ethernet (RJ-45),
the physical transmission protocols are different. So any direct connec-
tion between the Uman connectors and standard Ethernet connectors
will not work.
3.5 Remote control inputs (Ethernet / Uman)
The Ethernet Link network connector allows you to access the
V8
from
a host computer for remote control, firmware update and downloading
DSP presets. Please note that for setting up proper network connection
we suggest to use the
CAMCO NetSetup-Tool. This tool automatically
sets up the needed network settings on your host computer for seamless
communication.
If you want to connect more amplifiers (to one amplifier already con-
nected through the Ethernet Link) you can do so by connecting them to
