User manual FOSTEX AC2496

[. . . ] Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. 9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] It can also be selected to 44. 1kHz, 48kHz, 88. 2kHz or 96kHz (44. 1/48kHz only for adat output). 8 9 10 11 13 8. Blank panel This blank panel is removed when installing the optional Model 8355 (AES/EBU card) or the Model 5045 (8 channel AD card). In regards to installation of the options, refer to the manual included with the cards. 12 12. WORD OUT connector (BNC type) The AC2496 WORD clock signal for external digital equipment is output here. 13. Analog input connector (TRS phone jack) This is connected to BUSS OUT (or GROUP OUT) of the analog mixer (Refer to <Note> on the next page). These connectors can accept both balanced (+4dBu) and unbalanced (-10dBV) analog signals. DIGITAL OUT 1-8 connectors (Optical) Digital equipment provided with optical DIGITAL IN are connected here. The type of digital signals (adat or S/P DIF) selected by the DIGITAL FORMAT switch will be output here. 10. WORD IN connector (BNC type) The WORD clock signal from external digital equipment is input here to match the phase with digital equipment provided with WORD OUT. 11. AC IN connector The AC cable included with the AC2496 is connected here. <Notes when connecting cables> When plugging or unplugging the interconnecting cables, be sure to do so after switching off the power to the AC2496. 4 Main features of the AC2496 The AC2496 is a professional use high quality 24 bit, 96kHz compatible 8 channel A/D converter for converting analog signals to digital signals. Conversion to digital signals can be selected for S/P DIF or adat, depending on the application. Furthermore, by installing the option, it will be possible to also output AES/EBU format digital signals so it can be used to extend the number of digital multirecorder analog inputs and to substitute the inputs of digital mixers and audio cards in personal computers. · Balanced/unbalanced compatible input connectors Stereo phone jacks that comply to both balanced (+4dBu) and unbalanced (-10dBV) lines are employed for the analog inputs (1-8). · Includes with WORD in/out connector Synchronizing external equipment with the WORD clock is possible by utilizing this WORD IN/OUT connector. · Selecting various digital formats · Reference level can be set to match the input The reference level can be set to match the analog input (balanced or unbalanced line). The reference level can be chosen from three different levels: -12dB, -18dB or -20dB. All channels can be switched simultaneously. Four different digital formats can be selected: 24 bit/ 44. 1kHz, 24 bit/48kHz, 24 bit/88. 2kHz and 24 bit/ 96kHz. When outputting adat digital signals, however, it will be limited to 24 bit/44. 1kHz and 24 bit/ 48kHz. · Options available for extending functionality <Notes when setting the reference level> Be sure to match the equipment level for both balanced and unbalanced lines in regards to both the reference level and the analog input connector of connected equipment. For example, if it is used with the REF LEVEL switch set to balanced line reference level, digital clipping and low S/N signal may result if an unbalanced input is connected to the input connector. Two exclusive options are available for the AC2496 which further extend the AC2496's capabilities. Model 5045 (8 channel AD card) This is an 8 channel AD card for extending the AC2496 analog inputs to 16 channels. · Optical digital output connector (DIGITAL OUT) Adat or S/P DIF digital signals (by switch) can be output from the optical (square) digital output connector. This can be connected to external digital equipment provided with input connectors for adat or S/P DIF signals. Model 8355 (8 channel AES/EBU card) This is an 8 channel AES/EBU card for converting the analog input signal to AES/EBU digital signals. Sixteen track simultaneous recording is possible with this procedure. Analog Mixer-1 <CAUTION> If it is to be connected to a digital recorder -- a D2424 in this case -- having a WORD OUT port as shown in the example, it must always be connected to WORD IN of the AC2496 and WORD clock signals input from the digital recorder. Also, if WORD clock is to be input to AC2496, be sure to set the recorder clock in the "asynchronous mode. " Refer to the recorder Manual for details.
