Chapter 1. Basics
0 LINE IN jacks (E...H)
These are balanced TRS phone jacks. Standard unbalanced phone plugs can also be connected.
The input impedance is 20 k-ohms, nominal input is -34 dBu~+6 dBu/hnd maximum output is
+22 dBu.
0 AUX SEND jacks
These are unbalanced phone jacks which output the signals of AUX SEND 1 and 2. Normally they
will be connected to external effect devices. Load is 10 k-ohms, nominal output is +4 dBu, and
maximum output is +22 dBu.
o MASTER OUT jacks (L, R)
These are unbalanced phone jacks which output the analog master L/R signals. Normally they
will be connected to a master recorder. Load is 10 k-ohms, nominal output is +4 dBu, and maxi­
mum output is +22 dBu.
0 MON.OUT jacks (L, R)
These are unbalanced phone jacks which are analog outputs for the signal selected in SND MAS­
TER mode. Normally they will be connected to a monitor system or cue box. Load is 10 k-ohms,
nominal output is +4 dBu, and maximum output is +22 dBu.
0 TAPE IN jacks (L, R)
These are unbalanced RCA phono jacks, providing analog stereo input. Normally they will be
connected to a cassette deck or to the analog output of a DAT. Input impedance is 10 k-ohms,
nominal input is -10 dBu, and maximum input is +30 dBu.
0 MIDI connectors (IN, OUT, THRU)
External MIDI devices can be connected to these connectors. This allows Program Change mes­
sages to select programs, and mixing automation to be performed.
0 MASTER OUT jack (S/P DIF)
This digitally outputs the same signal as the analog MASTER OUT jack. Normally it will be con­
nected to the digital input of a master recorder such as a DAT.
0 ADAT OPTICAL IN jacks, (A1-8:G1-8 assignable, B1-8 assignable)
These are ADAT Optical format digital input jacks. The two ADAT Optical inputs can be used
simultaneously.
0 ADAT OPTICAL OUT jacks (A1-8:G1-8, B1-8 assignable)
These are ADAT Optical format digital output jacks. Al-8 outputs the 8 group busses and Bl-8 are
assignable outputs (p.29).
0 WORD CLOCK jacks (IN, OUT)
These jacks input and output a word clock signal for synchronizing digital processing with digit­
ally-connected external devices. These jacks are 48 kHz, TTL level.
0 [POWER] switch
This switch turns the power on/off. The power is on when the switch is pressed in.
0 AC power supply connector
Connect the included power supply cable here. First connect the power supply cable to the 168RC,
and then plug the other end into an AC outlet.
