Internal reference, a Word clock, a S/Pdif source (optical, or bnc), or Optionally an incoming AES/EBU stream. The AD8 has eight analog inputs that are floating and approximately 2.8k. Pin 1 of all of the female XLR’s on the unit are internally tied to circuit common. This should be kept in mind wiring systems together.
#1/Analog input jack #5). Data - This switch controls the main function of the AD8. If D/D PEP is selected, the unit will receive 8 channels of digital input from the option port, PEP process that data and then output that data on the AES outputs.
JCF Audio Rear Panel AC Power Inlet - This 3 pin IEC jack accepts 120VAC @ 50 or 60HZ. The unit is internally reconfigurable for 240VAC operation. Word Clock Input - This BNC jack accepts a standard TTL level word clock input. The in- put is 75 ohm terminated and ground referenced.
+4dBu = -13dBFS +12dBu = -18dBFS -1dBu = -18dBFS Unit ships with attenuator approximately at mid-adjustment range (+4dBu=-18dBFS) De-emphasis is not supported anywhere in the AD8. Power Consumption: < 24 Watts J C F A u d i o A D 8...
Use of the AD8 without PEP has a lower group delay than other devices intended for the same purpose. Handling the latency with PEP engaged can be a small challenge but should be addressed.

The best way of providing realtime feedback to those who need it can only be accom- plished one way. Not including latent devices like the AD8 using PEP in the loop. Careful consideration to whom needs realtime feedback and when should be consid- ered as well.

AD8 with less permanent installations. 1. The AD8 is compatible with the 2 ch. optical format that is common on lots of con- sumer electronic devices, laptops, desktops, etc. The choice of which 2 channel pairs of the AD8 come out of the optical output port is selectable by jumper internally.
