Parts of the FW-1804
DC IN jack
Connect only the power adapter supplied with your FW-
1804 to this jack.
Make sure the POWER switch is off when making the
power connection.
MIDI IN/OUT connectors
Two MIDI IN and four MIDI OUT connectors allow you to
hook up MIDI controllers, etc. as well as external tone gen-
erator modules, etc.
MIC/LINE jacks (1-4)
XLR-TRS combo jacks to input microphones or line level
sources. The XLR connectors (1: ground, 2: hot, 3: cold)
are connected to internal microphone pre-amplifiers. The
TRS (tip: hot, ring: cold, sleeve: ground) jacks are balanced
line level (+11 dBu) analog inputs. These use concentric
jacks so only one source, a mic or a line source, can be con-
nected.
CAUTION
Microphones should not be connected to or disconnected
from the FW-1804 with phantom power switched on.
Unbalanced dynamic microphones and some ribbon
microphones should never be connected to phantom-
powered connectors. Check with your microphone man-
ufacturer if you are unsure.
INSERT jacks (1-4)
Individual channel inserts. These are 1/4" TRS (tip: send,
ring: receive, sleeve: ground) jacks which allow you to
insert an external processor, such as an analog compressor,
into the signal chain for inputs 1 to 4 (mic or line). The
insert point is placed between the input (after the mic/line
trim) and the analog-to-digital converter. A standard insert
"Y" cable with a TRS plug is required. Check with your
music retailer.
LINE IN jacks (5-8)
Balanced line level (+4 dBu) 1/4" TRS (tip: hot, ring: cold,
sleeve: ground) analog inputs.
STEREO OUT (BAL) L & R jacks
Two balanced +4 dBU line-level outputs on 1/4" TRS jacks
(tip: hot, ring: cold, sleeve: ground).
WORD IN connector
Coaxial BNC connector for input of external Word Clock
signal from another device. This input is 75 ohm terminat-
ed.
WORD OUT connector
Coaxial BNC connector for output of the FW-1804's Word
Clock signal to another device.
ADAT/OPTICAL IN/OUT connectors
Fiber-optic input/output to accommodate eight-channel
ADAT format or two-channel S/PDIF in TOSLINK format.
COAXIAL IN/OUT connectors
S/PDIF coaxial digital input and output using RCA (pin)
connectors.
FireWire ports
Use one of these ports to connect the FW-1804 to the host
computer, providing audio communication. Either port may
be used to connect the FW-1804 to your computer.
FOOT SW jack
Accommodates a standard momentary foot switch through
a 1/4" jack. The function of this jack is assigned in the soft-
ware control panel.
