RME Audio ADI-8 QS User Manual page 8

The rear panel of the ADI-8 QS has eight analog inputs, eight analog outputs, mains power, a
connector for the included Hardware Remote, MIDI I/O, word clock I/O, the I64 Option Slot, and
all digital inputs and outputs (AES/ADAT).
ANALOG INPUTS: Eight balanced Line inputs, 1/4" TRS inputs and D-sub.
ANALOG OUTPUTS: Eight balanced Line outputs, 1/4" TRS outputs and D-sub.
AES I/O (25-pin D-sub): The D-sub connector provides four AES/EBU outputs (AD signals) and
four AES/EBU inputs (DA signals). The 25 pin D-sub connector is wired according to the widely
spread Tascam standard (pinout see chapter 16.9). The AES I/Os are transformer-coupled. The
high sensitivity type input accepts all common digital sources, even SPDIF.
ADAT I/O MAIN (TOSLINK): Standard ADAT optical port.
ADAT I/O AUX (TOSLINK): Transmits further channels at activated sample multiplexing.
WORD IN (BNC): A push switch allows to activate internal termination (75 Ohms).
WORD OUT (BNC): Standard word clock output.
MIDI I/O (5-pin DIN): MIDI input and output via 5-pin DIN jacks. Used to remote control the ADI-
8 QS, and – with installed MADI Card - to transmit MIDI data via MADI.
REMOTE (Mini DIN): Jack to connect the included Hardware Remote.
IEC receptacle for power connection. The specially developed, internal hi-performance switch
mode power supply lets the ADI-8 QS operate in the range of 100V to 240V AC. It is short-
circuit-proof, has an integrated line-filter, is fully regulated against voltage fluctuations, and sup-
presses mains interference.
With installed I64 MADI Card:
MADI I/O optical: Standard MADI ports.
MADI I/O koaxial (BNC): Standard MADI ports.
