Analog Audio Output
The AMA-8511 uses a rear sub-module (CON-8516) to access the balanced audio outputs. The sub-
module plugs onto BNCs 5, 6, 7, and 8 on the rear of the Ross DFR-8104A or DFR-8110A frames.
On the CON-8516 module there are removable connectors for OUT-A and OUT-B. Each connector
has sockets for the positive, negative, and grounded wires of a balanced analog audio cable.
Two copies of the analog audio signal (OUT A1&A2, OUT B1&B2) are available via plug-on
connectors on the CON-8516.
The AMA-8511 can accommodate any full-scale digital level in the -12 to -30dBFS range. To adjust
the output level, select the approximate dBFS level (18dB or 24dB) using the headroom jumpers (A
Level and B Level) and then turn the potentiometers (RV1 and RV2) to trim (± 6dB) the analog output
to match your installation's standard.
Wire the external cables to the plug-able terminal block connectors as outlined in the diagram and
procedure below.
Figure 4. Connector Wiring for CON-8516 Module
1. Insert an analog audio wire to the designated polarity slot on the connector.
2. Use a tweaker screwdriver to tighten the corresponding screw on the underside of
the connector.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each wire on each connector.
Once the cables have been wired to the connectors, install the connectors to the sockets on the
CON-8516 module so that the slotted tongue fits in the grooves on the module socket.
