MACKIE DX8 - Manual (Page 6)

DX8 – 6
RECORD Out
These RCA connectors supply unbalanced line-level
signals from the BUS A and BUS B outputs. Use
these outputs to connect to the inputs of a
recorder, or as additional line-level outputs to
connect to an external power amplifier. The signals
are the same as the main outputs.
OUTPUTS A/B
These 3-pin Phoenix-type connectors supply a
balanced line-level signal from BUS A and BUS B.
LOGIC I/O
This 25-pin D-Sub connector provides 10 logic
control inputs and 10 logic control outputs (open-
collector). These inputs can be used to control a
wide variety of DX8 functions via external
switching. The outputs can be used to provide
status levels for external indicators for a number of
internal settings and conditions, as well as control
switching to external devices. The function of each
logic input and output can be programmed via
software to suit individual applications. See page
13 for the Logic I/O pinouts.
REMOTE BUS
This 3-pin Phoenix-type connector can be used to
attach optional remote controls to the DX8.

DX8 Signal-Flow Diagram
SIGNAL-FLOW DIAGRAM
Several remote controls can be connected to each
other in a daisy-chain fashion to extend the remote
control functionality of the DX8.
COMM PORT
This is identical to the COMM PORT on the front
panel. Use this to connect to an RS-232 serial port
on a personal computer or third-party controller (i.e.,
show controller) for external control of the DX8.
EXPANSION SLOT
The optional eNet16™ network card (DX-IF16) can
be installed here. It provides 8 additional indepen-
dent output mixes, and can be used to interconnect
additional DX8s into a networked system.
24V DC POWER
The DX8 can be powered using a 24V DC power
supply. This can serve as the primary power supply
for the DX8, or as a backup supply in case of an AC
power failure. The DX8 seamlessly switches to the
backup supply if there’s a power loss. When both
AC power and 24V DC power are connected, the
AC power is used and no current is drawn from
the DC supply.
IEC AC Socket
Connect the supplied AC linecord to the IEC AC
socket.
