Specifications

I/O specifications

The 

CONSOLE

MASTER

 and 

INSERT

 connectors 

may each have an optional slot card selected as alter-
native I/O sources.

These slots may be filled by any of the following (but 
only one analog IF-AN/DM card may be fitted at a 
time).

Also note that when such analog cards are fitted, the 
headroom should be set on the cards to 20dB, using 
the switches and jumpers on the cards, and following 
the documentation supplied with thcards.

All these cards use PCI 120-pin edge connectors and 
conform to the TASCAM TDMCS standard.
