21. Analog Outputs
These are balanced ¼" TRS line outputs with line
(+4dBu) level signals. Users are able to use these
outputs to get a stereo output channel from each pair
of odd and even numbered outputs, or even a surround
mix (.2 or 6.2). Analog outputs 1 and 2 can be used
to send a stereo mix of your analog inputs or FireWire/
USB return signal, which is ideal for use with studio
monitors or subwoofers (if making a surround mix).
22. AES/EBU In/Out
This is a standard XLR AES/EBU digital interface that
lets you connect your digital AES-enabled devices to
your Firefly. The IN or OUT LED on the front of the
Firefly will light up when the inputs and outputs are in
use.
23. S/PDIF / AES IN Switch
This switch determines which of these digital inputs
will be used.
24. S/PDIF In/Out
This is a standard RCA S/PDIF Digital Audio Input/
Output that can be used with digital mixers, DAT
recorders, or any external device that uses the RCA
digital interface format. Please use a 7 ohm coaxial
cable with RCA plug when using S/PDIF. The most
common problems or glitches incorporated with S/
PDIF transfer are due to use of improper analog
cables. Users may also use these inputs for "High-
Speed" S/PDIF devices when that option is selected in
the computer's Firefly mixer software.

25. FireWire / USB Ports and Select Switch
These connections are digital USB and FireWire (aka
IEEE 1394) ports that you can use to connect the
Firefly 808 Universal to your computer. Doing so will
enable you to use your computer for high quality multi-
track recording, as well as editing, mixing, and so forth,
in your favorite Digital Audio Workstation Software.
The switch that accompanies these ports is used to
determine which of the ports you will be using.
You have two FireWire ports at your disposal; however
you need only connect one to your computer. The
second port will allow you to connect a second Firefly
808 Universal, allowing twice the number of inputs!
26. MIDI In/Out
These inputs will allow you to send 16 MIDI channels
through the FireWire or USB interface to your
computer, as well as receive 16 back. These channels
will be present within the Firefly Control Software, and
available for use in most MIDI-enabled programs.
27. ADAT In/Out
This is a standard TOSlink ADAT optical interface that
you can use in the same way as you would use your
typical ADAT devices. This input can also be used
for SMUX inputs when this option is selected in the
computer's Firefly mixer software.
28. WCLK IN/OUT
These are BNC input/output connectors for standard
Word Clock Syncs, as are used in DVTRs and other
digital devices.
29. AC Power Input and Fuse Holder
Connect the supplied AC power cord to this connector.
The other end should be connected to a suitable
power supply. The power supply's fuse is located just
below this connector. If your fuse blows, remove the
fuse holder's cover and replace the fuse with another
suitable fuse (as indicated on the fuse-holder's
cover).
