1. INSTALLATION
The PR8MK2 ADAT Option is very easy to install. Nonetheless we recommend that you
have an authorized technician install the module. We are not responsible for any dam-
ages that occur due to improper installation.
• Turn off power to the PR8MK2 and remove the mains power cable from its socket.
• Remove the back plate which covers the module installation slot on the rear panel of the
unit.
• Remove the screws from the top of the unit and remove the metal cover so you have
access to the unit.
• Insert the PR8MK2 ADAT Option into the installation slot and use the screws to secure
it to the back wall of the PR8MK2 housing.
• You are required to connect two (2) ribbon cables from the newly installed module to the
main board of the SM PR8MK2. One cable is to supply power to the PR8MK2 ADAT
Option board, and the other is to provide the 8 x channels of audio to the ADAT stream.
