connecting the I-OnIX fw810S

For a step-by-step example project, refer to the FW810S Tutorial.pdf file
located on the DVD.

Microphones

Plug an XLR cable directly from a microphone into the desired Mic/Inst or
Mic Pre input on the FW810S front or rear panel. If you connect a micro-
phone to a front panel input, make sure the Instrument button/LED above
the corresponding Gain knob is not lit. For example, if a microphone is con-
nected to Mic/Inst 1, then the Instrument button/LED above the Gain 1
knob should not be lit.
If your microphone requires phantom power, first make sure the microphone
is connected, then press the +48V button/LED above that input pair's Gain
knob. If your mics don't need phantom power, it is best to leave it off.
Note: Some microphones can be damaged by +48V phantom power.
Consult your microphone's documentation before enabling +48V phantom
power.

Line Level Sources

Line level sources include keyboards, drum machines, CD players, and exter-
nal microphone preamps and effects. Plug a 1/4" TS (unbalanced) or TRS
(balanced) cable directly from the line level source into the desired Mic/Inst
or Mic Pre input on the FW810S front or real panel.
If you connect a line level source to a front panel input, make sure the
Instrument button/LED above the corresponding Gain knob is not lit.
For example, if a line level source is connected to Mic/Inst 1, then the
Instrument button/LED above the Gain 1 knob should not be lit.

Instruments

Front panel Mic/Inst jacks accept signals from instruments like electric
guitars and basses. Plug a standard ¼" TS (instrument) cable directly from
the instrument into one of the Mic/Inst input jacks on the front panel of
FW810S. Press the Instrument button/LED above the corresponding Gain
knob (Gain 1 for Mic/Inst 1, Gain 2 for Mic/Inst 2).

Computer/Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

Connect your computer's FireWire TM port to the FireWire port on the
I-ONIX FW810S rear panel using a standard FireWire cable (included).

Headphones

Connect headphones to the Headphone jack located on the front panel. The
Headphone jack accepts an 1⁄ 4 " TRS connector. Adjust headphone volume
with the Headphone Level knob.

Monitor Speakers

Using ¼" cables, connect the L/R Main Output jacks on the rear panel to
the appropriate inputs on your mixer, power amp, or powered monitors.
Adjust the output volume with the Output Level knob. Additional monitor
mixes may be created on outputs 1-8 using the integrated hardware digital
mixer.
