(35) DB25 Line Inputs 1 – 8
The line inputs can be accessed via this female DB25 connector. The single DB25 jack
carries eight balanced line-level channel inputs using standardized Tascam wiring.
All DB25 line inputs are DC coupled. For connector pinouts, see DB25 Wiring.
The DB25 line inputs are normalled to the TRS combo jacks. If a DB25 line input is
active and a 1/4” cable is plugged into the same channel’s combo jack input, the DB25
input is disconnected and the combo jack input is used instead.
Important: To use a DB25 line input, the channel’s input must be set to LINE and
its ¼” connector (including Hi-Z input) must not be connected.
(36) Mic/Line Combo Inputs 1 – 8
XLR plugs are routed to the channel’s microphone input, and TRS plugs are routed to the
channel’s line input.
Combo jack inputs 1 – 8 are switched between the XLR and Line connections using the
front panel Input switch (#6) or the Console application.
XLR Mic Inputs 1 – 8
The combo jack balanced Microphone inputs accept XLR plugs. Pin 2 is wired positive
(hot).
+48V phantom power is available for the XLR inputs via the front panel switch (#6) or
the Console application.
Caution: To avoid potential equipment damage, disable +48V phantom power on
the channel before connecting or disconnecting its XLR input.
¼” Line Inputs 1 – 8
The combo jack line inputs 1 – 8 accept balanced ¼” TRS phone plugs. Unbalanced ¼”
TS plugs can also be used. All ¼” Combo inputs are DC coupled.
