Connecting to the Audio Interface
By default, the inputs and outputs are set to receive or send a +4dBu signal. You
can switch between +4dBu and –10dBV for each individual input and output via
the console software (see “Console” section below).
The FireWire Connector
On the rear panel of each AudioFire interface box is a pair of connectors with the
FireWire symbol above them. These six-pin IEEE 1394a connectors operate at 400
Mbps and are used to connect the audio interface to your computer, and to other
FireWire devices. These connectors do not pass power from the computer to other
FireWire devices, so other devices will require external power to function.
A FireWire cable was supplied with your AudioFire product.
S/PDIF (AudioFire4 and AudioFire8)
Next to the FireWire connectors on the back of AudioFire4 and AudioFire8 is a
pair of connectors labeled S/PDIF, IN and OUT. These S/PDIF connectors are
used to transmit digital audio data between digital audio devices via an electrical
signal.
