I/O and FX Cards
The six slots at the rear of the console (or in a Muxipaire
Stagebox) and the eight slots in a DioCore may be fitted with
any combination of the following I/O:
• SI-8D3 – 8 mic/line inputs (on 8 balanced XLRs).
• DI-8S – 4 AES inputs (8 mono channels on 4 balanced
XLRs).
• DI-8Src – 4 AES inputs with sample rate conversion (8
mono channels on 4 balanced XLRs accepting sample
rates from 32kHz to 56kHz).
• UM-8PO - 8 analogue line outputs (on 8 balanced
XLRs). Each pair of outputs may be switched to AES. All
8 outputs are also available as ADAT via a TOSlink
connector. Each output has its own signal processing
(Compressor, Gate, 8-band Parametric EQ, 31-band
Graphic EQ and Delay.) (Note that the UM-8PO is not
recognised in a Muxipaire Stagebox; use the MO-8D3
card instead.)
The internal effects card can be fitted only in the rear of the
console:
• FM-8VB – 8 channels of internal effects. Each pair of
channels may be linked for stereo operation. Each
channel has 4 effects engines which may operate a VB
Audio plug-in (Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Flanger, De-
esser, Compressor, Gate, Multiband Compressor, etc.)
Note that all cards operate at 24-bit, 48kHz. (If the system is
synchronised to an external clock signal, then the sampling
frequency may operate from 43-49kHz).
The Standard Eclipse I/O Package
So that you know what to expect, particularly when arriving to
work on a rental console, Eclipse is delivered with a standard
package of i/o and internal effects cards which consists of:
• 1 DioCore – remote stage i/o with:
o 7 SI-8D3 cards = 56 Mic Preamps
o 1 UM-8PO card = 8 Outputs (Line/AES/ADAT)
• Console - local desk i/o of:
o 1 SI-8D3 card = 8 Mic Preamps
o 2 UM-8PO cards = 16 Outputs (Line/AES/ADAT)
o 2 FM-8VB = 16 mono effects bays
o 16 Line Inputs and 16 Line Outputs
You can find more details in Chapter 2: Installation.
