OPEN AND INSPECT YOUR BOX
Please take care when removing the m108 from its OEM packaging. Our packaging is designed with ‘Kor-
rvu©’ suspension inserts, which provide the best protection from the dubious underworld of freight
handling – so save your packaging material. Inner boxes will contain all the items listed above. If you
think you are missing anything, give your dealer or us a call and we’ll get you taken care of right away.
REGISTER YOUR UNIT
We strongly urge you to fill out your warranty registration card. The m108 is covered by a 5 year transfer-
able warranty. Registering your unit will help us contact you if there are important updates and simpli-
fies warranty service. So please take a few minutes to complete and send in the enclosed card, or simply
fill out the warranty registration form on our website. We always keep your information private. Thank
you!
4.2 Connecting the m108
POWER CONNECTIONS
The m108 has a built-in universal power supply which accepts line voltages of 90 to 240VAC. We
include a power cable specified for the country where it was ordered, so it should be supplied cor-
rectly. If not, please contact your dealer or distributor for help. For safety, it is recommended that
the AC power cable be connected to a grounded outlet.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Microphone Inputs: Female XLR, pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 ground. 48V phantom power is
supplied on pins 2 and 3. With a gain range from -6dB to 69dB these inputs can be used for any type of
microphone or as line level inputs.
Analog Balanced Line Outputs: DB25 Tascam pinout (See CABLE DIAGRAMS chapter 13). These outputs
are always active. ADC full scale (0dBFS) is referenced to a signal level of +24dBu
AES3 Digital Outputs: DB25 Tascam pinout (See CABLE DIAGRAMS chapter 13) These outputs are active
when the ADC is on.
