Connecting to the Audio Interface
When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks, the use of standard analog RCA
audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75-ohm coaxial
(RG59) video cables are recommended.
Optical S/PDIF and ADAT (2009 AudioFire 8 and AudioFire Pre8)
The 2009 AudioFire 8 and AudioFire Pre8 are equipped with Optical S/PDIF and
ADAT. There is a digital mode switch in the Echo console which lets you choose
the digital format that you prefer.
MIDI
Your AudioFire is equipped with MIDI I/O connectors. The MIDI ports can be
used for receiving MIDI time code (MTC), or sending and receiving MIDI signals
between your digital audio/MIDI sequencing software and external sound modules,
keyboards, MIDI controllers, etc.
MIDI cabling is standardized and widely available.
