Connecting other equipment
These are examples of SERIES 8p Dyna connections.
Precautions before making connections
p
Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be
connected and then connect them correctly.
p
Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment
to be connected off (standby).
p
If possible, install all connected devices so that they are
powered from the same AC power supply line. When using
a power strip or similar device, be sure to use one that has a
thick cable with high current capacity in order to minimize
voltage fluctuations in the AC power supply.

Examples of connections with a SERIES 8p Dyna
Audio connections
Analog audio signals input into this device from mics, guitars,
keyboards and other audio equipment can be output to
connected devices as analog output from the 25-pin D-Sub and
TRS balanced outputs as well as converted into digital signals
and transmitted from the S/MUX connectors. In addition, by
connecting speakers (through an amplifier) to this unit, you can
monitor audio signals that are input to this unit.
V
CAUTION
Before connecting audio equipment, set the GAIN and COMP
knobs to their lowest values. Failure to do so could cause
sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment, and this
could damage the equipment or harm hearing.
ATTENTION
When connecting devices to both the ANALOG OUT
connector and LINE OUTPUT jacks, turn on the devices
connected to both connector types when using this unit. If
devices connected to only one type of connector are turned
on, the quality of the analog output could be degraded.
Connecting microphones
Dynamic mics
Connect these to the 1-2 input jacks on the front or the
MIC/LINE INPUT 3-8 jacks on the back of the unit.
Condenser mics
When using a condenser mic that requires phantom
power, connect it to the 1-2 input jacks on the front or the
MIC/LINE INPUT 3-8 jacks on the back of the unit.
Set the input switch to +48V when connecting them to
the 1-2 input jacks on the front of the unit. When an input
switch is set to +48V, its +48V indicator on the front of the
unit lights.
When connecting them to the MIC/LINE INPUT 3-8 input
jacks on the back of the unit, turn their +48V switches on.
The +48V switches light when they are on.
V
CAUTION
Set the GAIN and COMP knobs to their minimum values before
changing input switch or +48V switch settings. Failure to do so
could cause sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment,
and this could damage equipment or harm hearing.
ATTENTION
i
Input switches can be set for each channel separately. Do not
set the switch to +48V when connecting a mic that does not
require phantom power.
i
Do not connect or disconnect mics when the switch is set to
+48V. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage
this unit and connected equipment.
i
Set the switch to +48V only when using a condenser
microphone that requires phantom power. Setting the
switch to +48V when a dynamic mic or other device that
does not require it is connected could damage this unit and
connected equipment.
i
+48V switches can be set for each channel separately. Do not
turn a +48V switch on when connecting a mic that does not
require phantom power.
i
Do not connect or disconnect mics when a +48V switch is on.
Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this
unit and connected equipment.
i
Turn a +48V switch on only when using a condenser mic
that requires phantom power. Turning a +48V switch on
when a dynamic mic or other mic that does not require
it is connected could damage this unit and connected
equipment.
i
Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break
them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a
ribbon mic.
