Connect the analog outputs as required in your studio. These connectors deliver a balanced
output signal from a simulated grounded center-tap source. For unbalanced use, either float pin 3
at the 8824 (preferred), or if necessary, connect it to pin 1 at the 8824.
Digital I/O Connections
It is not necessary to connect to any or all of these connectors at any given time. The connectors
used or not used depends on your specific application. In most situations, connect the sources
and destinations that you do have to the 8824. You can then use it as a ‘router’ to patch your
sources, destinations, and the computer workstation software together.
Connect the AES/EBU input connectors to AES/EBU digital audio sources. Connect the AES/
EBU output connectors to AES/EBU digital audio inputs. If you plan to sync to an AES input,
be sure to use inputs 1-2, 3-4, or 5-6, but not 7-8.
Connect the S/PDIF connectors to consumer audio digital inputs.
Connect the Word Clock input connector to a source of digital audio word clock.
Connect the Word Clock output connector to any other unit requiring the word clock signal.
50Hz-60Hz AC INPUT 40 WATTS MAX.
