Output Modules
(OMD-8)
Module Overview
Each D-8000 console has two standard (MASTER A
and MASTER B) output modules and one optional
(MASTER C) output module. MASTER A module
handles the console’s Program and Auxiliary outputs,
MASTER B handles Audition and Utility and MASTER
C handles Send1 and Send 2.
MASTER A output module has installed jumpers J3,
J4 for Program output; J7, J8 for Auxiliary output; and
J11, J12 for CUE monitor signal.
MASTER B output module has installed jumpers J5,
J6 for Audition output; J9, J10 for Utility output; and
J13, J14 for TEL monitor signal.
MASTER A or MASTER B module can be changed
to the other by making the appropriate jumper changes.
All modules output analog and digital signals. Ana-
log outputs may be adjusted using recessed front panel
multi-turn trimpots.
Master A and Master B modules also generate the
console’s monitor signals, which feed the Control Room,
Studio and Meter Output modules. There are analog
stereo insert points for PGM and AUD (these may be
internally bypassed, which is the factory default setting).
Regardless of the bypass switch setting, INSERT OUT
may be used as an additional direct PGM (or AUD)
output from a module.
All user wiring to and from the OMD-8 modules
takes place at DB-25 multi-pin connectors mounted
directly beneath the module on the console mainframe’s
bottom pan. There are two connectors: the upper one
(towards the console meterbridge) handles analog out-
puts and insert points; the lower connector (near the
console armrest) handles digital outputs (AES format).
All analog audio is +4dBu balanced. Pinout drawings on
pages 4-6, 4-7 and 4-8 show all wiring connections at a
glance.
