TASCAM HS-8 112 − Names and functions of partsRear panelg ANALOG INPUTS 1-8 connectorThis 25-pin D-sub connector is for analog balancedline input. The pin assignments are as follows.h ANALOG INPUTS A and B connectorsThese A/B balanced XLR connectors are for analogbalanced line inputs (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD). Setwhich channels the signals input through theseconnectors are recorded to using the unit settings.j DIGITAL I/O (ADAT) 1-8 connectorsThese connectors are for the input (IN) and output(OUT) of ADAT optical format digital audio. Samplingfrequencies of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are supported.k REMOTE coverThis cover is attached when the unit is new. Removethe two screws from the cover to access and use theREMOTE connector.l RS-422 connectorThis 9-pin D-sub connector is for RS-422 serial control.Connect an external controller, for example, here.NOTEThis cannot be used at the same time as the RS-232C connector. (See“RS-422 page” on page 48.; RS-232C connectorThis 9-pin D-sub connector is for RS-232C control.Connect an external controller, for example, here.NOTEThis cannot be used at the same time as the RS-422 connector (See“RS-232C page” on page 48.)z PARALLEL connectorThis 25-pin D-sub connector is for parallel control.Connect an external controller, for example, here.x AC inletConnect the provided AC power cord set here.c ANALOG OUTPUTS 1-8 connectorThis 25-pin D-sub connector is for analog balancedline output. The pin assignments are as follows.v ANALOG OUTPUTS L/A and R/B connectorsThese A/B balanced XLR connectors are for analogbalanced line outputs (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD).These output the stereo signal mixed in this unit or themonitoring signal (the same sound output from thePHONES jack, including soloed tracks, etc.).b DIGITAL I/O (AES/EBU) 1-8 connectorThis 25-pin D-sub connector is for digital audio inputand output in AES/EBU (AES3-2003/IEC60958-4)format.Transmission occurs at double speed when thesampling frequency is 88.2 or 96 kHz and at quadspeed when 176.4 or 192 kHz.The digital input section includes a samplingrate converter that is compatible with samplingfrequencies between 32–216 kHz.The pin assignments are as follows.
