AES/EBU Input -  

The popularity of DB25 for bi-directional AES/EBU communication presents a 

unique challenge to the user attempting to connect devices to a system that only utilize 
one direction (as in the case of the DA8-V).  The most common situation is that one will 
go to plug in the converter for the first time and find that their DAW already has some-
thing connected to it’s AES/EBU DB25 port.  Since AES/EBU is, for the most part, a 
single source/single load system, a likely scenario would be that the user is using 
what’s there already to get information from an A/D converter or other digital devices 
into their DAW.  In these cases we have offered the following solution:  

The top DB25 port is the

 Standard Input port

 (see photo above).  The included 

AES/EBU cable can connect any Tascam® AES/EBU port to the DA8-V’s top port.  The 
bottom port is a 

Courtesy Thru port

 that can take the previously existing cabling to 

other devices if necessary.
