  • Page 3: Please Note

    When the device is brought from a cold into a warm environment, water may condense in the interior, and there is a risk of malfunction. Do not turn on the device for thirty minutes after such a temperature change in order to allow the PAS-8 to assume the temperature of the environment. CLEANING: Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap solution for cleaning the casing, the front panel, and the controls.
  • Page 4 AES/EBU interfaces and various peripheral devices. All inputs and outputs have XLR jacks with gold-plated contacts. The PAS-8 is not a format converter. However, it accepts the commonly used SPDIF signal levels. The signal output is at the usual AES/EBU level of 4 Vss (peak to peak).
  • Page 5 The router's active circuitry ensures low jitter, which makes the device suitable for use before a D/A converter in the signal chain. In order to improve the operation of a subsequent converter, the output amplifiers of the PAS-8 come with DUTY CYCLE correction. This ensures a DC-free output signal irrespective of the signal level and duty cycle (mean time ratio of positive and negative bits) of the selected source, in addition to reducing potential jitter caused by the low-pass effect of a connected line.

    CLOCK DISPLAY: These two LEDs indicate the presence of a digital signal with a valid input level at the selected PAS-8 input. For instance, if an input with a valid digital signal is selected for the monitor matrix, the relevant MON.CLK...

  • Page 7: Audio Format And Configuration

    In order to send a signal not only to the digital switch but also to a second digital recipient, the jumper for the relevant input is opened in the router. The signal line is routed from the source to the PAS-8 first, then to the second recipient.

  • Page 8: Input Configuration

    The jumpers for input impedance selection can be reached by opening the device cover. If the jumper is on both contacts, input impedance is 110 Ω. If the jumper is on only one contact, the input impedance is >1 kΩ. The PAS-8 has 8 jumpers for its 8 inputs and an additional jumper for the digital insert input.

    30/70 (uppermost line of the readings). The signal level is approx. 3.5 Vss. The lower, blue curve shows the PAS-8's corrected, clean output signal with a symmetrical duty cycle of typically 50 % (lines 2 to 5 of the readings). The diagram also shows the accurately defined, overshoot-free rise and fall times as well as the delay between input and output.

    50 mA/250 V, anti-surge. OPTIONAL VERSIONS and ACCESSORIES The PAS-8 is available in two versions for different supply voltages: 230 V/50 Hz, or 115 V/50..60 Hz. Only the manufacturer may convert the device for a different power supply. ACCESSORIES – INTERFACE In the pack panel of the digital audio router there is a 4-pole mini DIN socket labelled PAS REMOTE.

  • Page 12 4 digital recipients. As an example, the following figure illustrates the use of a DDA-12 distribution amplifier in conjunction with the PAS-8. This configuration allows any recipient to record signals from any source. The switching options of the DDA-12 permit the signal to be routed to input 2 of the DDA-12 instead of the D/A converter or the digital peakmeter.
