Surround Monitor Controller 2489
The SMC enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively shielded against HF interfer-
ence. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place the unit
to avoid electrical disturbances. The SMC and all devices to be connected
should be turned off before connections are made. Always turn volume down
or mute your speakers when disconnecting or repatching audio cables to avoid
damage to your speakers and ears.
Inputs and outputs
INPUTs A & C (Sub-D 25; analog)
This Sub-D connector provides balanced connections for INPUTs A & C (INPUT
A for six surround channels, INPUT C for two stereo channels). Use this
connector for your multichannel source, i.e. DAW or DA converter.
SLAVE OUT (Sub-D 25; analog)
The SLAVE OUT provides a direct output of the INPUT A & C signals for connec-
tion to external equipment e.g. recorders, leaving the converter outputs free.
INPUTs B & D (RCA)
Eight RCA input connectors are available for six surround channels and two
stereo channels. INPUT B provides surround connection for SACD or DVD
players, while INPUT D provides connection for stereo sources such as DAT or
CD players.
Tip: If a recording device is connected to the SLAVE OUT, its outputs can be
connected to INPUT B for tape monitoring purposes.
SURROUND and SPEAKER OUTPUTS (1/4“ TRS)
Eight balanced 1/4“ TRS connectors allow connection of a six-channel
surround speaker set and a stereo speaker pair.
For unbalanced connections, use standard mono 1/4“ plugs.
Sub-D 25 connector pin configuration
The pin configuration complies with the TASCAM standard.
