15.9 Connector Pinouts

D-Sub Analog Outputs

The 25 pin D-sub connectors of the analog outputs are wired according to the Tascam scheme,

as shown in this table:

Chan. 1+ 1- 2+ 2- 3+ 3- 4+ 4- 5+ 5- 6+ 6- 7+ 7- 8+ 8-

D-sub 24 12 10 23 21 9 7 20 18 6 4 17 15 3 1 14

GND is connected to pins 2, 5, 8, 11, 16, 19, 22, 25. Pin 13 is unconnected.

The output circuitry does not operate in a servo-balanced way. When connecting unbalanced

devices make sure that pin 3 (-) stays unconnected.

TRS jacks analog outputs

The stereo ¼" TRS jacks of the analog outputs are wired according to international standards:

Tip = + (hot)

Ring = – (cold)

Sleeve = GND

The servo-balanced circuitry allows for the use of monaural TS jacks (unbalanced) with no loss

in level. This is the same as when using a TRS-jack with ring connected to ground.
