Monitor 8 Rear Panel

1. The Monitor 8 is equipped with an auto-switching inter-
national power supply.
2. These ADAT optical “lightpipe” jacks provide 16 channels
of 24-bit ADAT optical digital input at 1x sample rates
(44.1 or 48 kHz) or 8 channels at 2x sample rates (88.2 or
96 kHz). They are disabled at higher sample rates. Use
them to route channels from another optical device, such
as a mixer, to be included in each monitor group mix.
3. The MAIN OUT pair provides stereo analog output for
primary (powered) studio monitors or PA speakers, or
any other desired destination. Control volume from the
MOTU AVB Control web app or from the front panel
volume control.
To hear audio playback from your host audio software on
the MAIN OUT pair, assign audio tracks (and master
fader) to these main outs. You can also use the MOTU AVB
Control web app to route live Monitor 8 inputs (and
network inputs) here as well.
4. The AUX OUT pair provides auxiliary stereo analog output
for secondary studio monitors, or any other desired
destination. These connectors are balanced
(tip/ring/sleeve). Control volume from the MOTU AVB
Control web app or from the front panel volume control.
5. Monitor Groups E and F (output channels 9-10 and
11-12, respectively) provide two mirrored outputs:
1) a headphone output, which mirrors its corresponding
front panel headphone output, and 2) a summed mono
output (commonly used to feed a stage monitor), which
also mirrors the headphone output.
6. Monitor Groups A through D provide three mirrored
output pairs: 1) balanced stereo L/R (for wireless
monitoring systems), 2) headphone (for wired
headphone installations), and 3) summed mono (for
stage monitors). All outputs within a group mirror each
other and their corresponding headphone output on the
front panel.
7. Equipped with very high quality 24-bit 192 kHz convert-
ers, these eight analog inputs are balanced TRS (tip/ring/
sleeve) quarter-inch connectors that can also accept an
unbalanced plug (with the ring disconnected). Use them
to include external analog sources into your monitor
group mixes. These inputs are equipped with the
Monitor 8’s Precision Digital Trim™ feature: digitally
controlled analog trims that let you adjust input level in
1 dB increments from the MOTU AVB Control web app.
8. Connect Monitor 8 to the computer here using a
standard USB cable. If you plan to connect Monitor 8 to
an AVB network, use the network port (instead of USB).
9. This AVB ethernet port provides industry standard IEEE
802.1 network connectivity to other network devices.
Examples include:
■
Another Monitor 8 or any other MOTU AVB-equipped
audio interface, such as the 1248, 8M, 16A, 24Ai, 24Ao,
112D, Monitor 8, etc.
■ A standard ethernet hub or Wi-Fi router (for internet
connection and communication with the MOTU AVB
Control web app software).
■
A standard AVB Ethernet switch for high-speed, low-
latency, high-capacity audio connectivity to an AVB
audio network.
■ A recent-generation Mac (any Mac with a Thunderbolt
port) running OS X Yosemite (10.10) or later. This
allows you to operate the Monitor 8 as an audio inter-
face over Ethernet.
