In analog mode the V8 has no signal latency (withDSP switched off), the audio signal path is pure analog.AESIn this mode the digital AES input signal connected to the AES XLR inputconnector will be used as input signal.UmanWith the Uman setting the input signals are taken from the Uman DigitalAudio Network Interface.3.4.1 Analog InputXLR: Pin 1 = Ground (lifted via 15 Ω resistor to chassis / earth)Pin 2 = Hot (in-phase, "+")Pin 3 = Cold (out of phase, "−")We suggest to always use symmetrically (balanced) shielded cable to con-nect the amplifier.The V8 amplifier has a 26 dB and 32 dB voltage gain setting along with a1,4 V sensitivity setting.The table shows input sensitivity per channel for a given gain and load. Italso shows the gain for the 1,4 V input sensitivity.Model rated output power 26 dB 32 dB 1,4 VV8 5100 W @ 2 Ω4000 W @ 4 Ω2300 W @ 8 Ω5,08 V6,38 V6,80 V2,54 V3,19 V3,40 V40 dB3.4.2 AES InputThe digital AES XLR input accepts any AES/EBU signals (pro or consumerformat) in 16, 18, 20 or 24 bit resolution and from 32 to 192 kHz sampligfrequency. This wide input frequency range of is guaranteed by an inte-grated sample rate converter (SRC) chip.3.4.3 Uman Input / OutputThe Uman input and output connectors allow you to receive and sendmultichannel digital audio streams to other Uman-compatible devices(like other V8 amplifiers for example). Please note that altough the Umanconnectors use the same connector type than standard Ethernet (RJ-45),the physical transmission protocols are different. So any direct connec-tion between the Uman connectors and standard Ethernet connectorswill not work.3.5 Remote control inputs (Ethernet / Uman)The Ethernet Link network connector allows you to access the V8 froma host computer for remote control, firmware update and downloadingDSP presets. Please note that for setting up proper network connectionwe suggest to use the CAMCO NetSetup-Tool. This tool automaticallysets up the needed network settings on your host computer for seamlesscommunication.If you want to connect more amplifiers (to one amplifier already con-nected through the Ethernet Link) you can do so by connecting them to3 INSTALLATION
