r OPTICAL OUT (S/MUX) connectors
These connectors output multichannel digital audio in
optical format.
44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz sampling frequencies are
supported.
88.2/96 kHz is supported by S/MUX2, and 176.4/192 kHz is
supported by S/MUX4.
As shown below, the outputs of these two connectors
depend on the sampling frequency.

Channels 1-8
88.2/96 kHz
Channels 1-4
176.4/192 kHz
Channels 1-2
NOTE
S/PDIF format will not be output.
t WORD IN/OUT connectors
These BNC connectors are for the input and output of word
clock signals.
Word clock signals of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz can
be input and output.
ATTENTION
If a digital system has multiple word clock masters, serious
problems, including damage to equipment, could occur.
y 75Ω ON/OFF/THRU/WORD OUT switch
Use this switch to make the following settings.
i Whether or not the WORD IN connector has 75Ω
termination
i WORD output THRU/OUT setting (OUT is for WORD only)
u ANALOG OUT connector
This is a 25-pin D-Sub balanced analog output connector.
The nominal output level is +4 dBu.
Use an analog output D-Sub multi-cable to connect this to an
external balanced analog input device and transmit signals
for channels 1–8.
The pin assignments* of the ANALOG OUT connector are as
shown below.
* Pin assignments adhere to the TASCAM DB-25 Pinout
Standard (AES59-2012)

ATTENTION
If devices are connected to the LINE OUTPUT jacks at the
same time but are not turned on, the quality of the output
from the ANALOG OUT connector could be degraded.
i LINE OUT (BALANCED) 1-8 jacks
These standard TRS jacks are balanced analog line outputs.
The nominal output level is +4 dBu.
(Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)
ATTENTION
If a device is connected to the ANALOG OUT connector at
the same time but is not turned on, the quality of the output
from the LINE OUT jacks could be degraded.
o MIC/LINE INPUT 3-8 jacks
These analog inputs are XLR/TRS combo jacks.
These jacks support line input from audio equipment and
keyboards, for example.
o XLR (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD)
o TRS (Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)
Use the GAIN knobs (3-8) on the front of the unit to set input
gains.
NOTE
When phantom power is on, +48V phantom power is
supplied to XLR connectors. No power is supplied to the TRS
connectors.
p DC IN 12V connector
Connect the included AC adapter (PS-P1230) here.
a SIGNAL GND connector
This is a ground connector for audio signals.
ATTENTION
This connector is not a power supply grounding connection.
s Cord holder
Hook the cord of the included PS-P1230 AC adapter here to
prevent accidental disconnection
