(35) DB25 Line Inputs 1 – 8
The line inputs can be accessed via this female DB25 connector. The single DB25 jack
carries eight balanced line-level channel inputs using standardized Tascam wiring.
All DB25 line inputs are DC coupled. For connector pinouts, see

The DB25 line inputs are normalled to the TRS combo jacks. If a DB25 line input is
active and a 1/4” cable is plugged into the same channel’s combo jack input, the DB25
input is disconnected and the combo jack input is used instead.

its ¼” connector (including Hi-Z input) must not be connected.
