17. FireWire (IEEE 1394) connectors

Use a FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable to connect these to your computer. We recommend that you use à 6-pin cable to connect the FA-66 to your computer, and a 4-pin cable to connect the FA-66 to any peripheral device you may be using. + 6-pin connector If the IEEE 1394 connector (FireWire connector, iLink connector, DV connector) of your computer is a 6-pin type, use the included 6-pin <+ 6-pin cable. The FA-66 will be able to operate on bus power. Normally you should use this method of connection. If the IEEE 1394 connector (FireWire connector, iLink connector, DV connector) of your computer is a 4-pin type, use the included 6-pin <+ 4-pin cable. However, in this case, the FA-66 will not operate on bus power. + 4-pin connector Normally, the 4-pin connector is used when connecting the FA-66 to a peripheral device.

18. Sample rate select switch

This specifies the sampling frequency at which audio data will be recorded and played back. In order to get this setting to take effect, you must exit all of your @) software, then cycle the power to the FA-66 (switch it off, then back on again). *_Ifyou are using Macintosh and want to change the sampling frequency, you must first power down the FA-66. Then, access the Mac OS System Preferences - Sound, and verify that EDIROL FA-66 has disappeared from the input and Output panes. Then, power up the FA-66 again. For information on how to display the Mac OS System Preferences - Sound, refer to “Audio settings” (p. 19). You must set the sample rate select switch to match the sampling frequency selected in the software you are using. If you use external synchronization mode (ie. the DIGITAL IN switch turned on), the external device’s sampling frequency must also be the same. [ Limitations when using the FA-66 at 192 kHz ] + You will not be able to use the digital input connector or digital output connector.

This is an on/off switch for the phantom power supplied to the XLR connectors of the combo input jacks (1) on the front panel.

• You must leave the phantom power turned off (right position) unless condenser mics requiring phantom power are connected to the XLR jacks. Supplying phantom power 0 a dynamic mic or an audio playback device may cause malfunction. For details on the requirements of your mic, refer to its owner's manual. (The FA-66' phantom power supply: DC 48 V, 20 mA maximum)

This turns the FA-66's hardware limiter on/off. If a sudden, high-volume sound is input to the combo input jacks (1), the limiter applies mild compression to prevent clipping from occurring at the AD converter.

• Clipping noise will be heard if the input signal exceeds the capacity of the limiter.

21. Output jacks 3, 4 (Nominal output: +4 dBu)

These jacks output analog audio signals. Balanced output is supported.

22. Main output jacks (output jacks 1, 2) (Nominal output: +4 dBu)

These output the mixed sound that is being input via the input jacks and being output from the computer. You can use the output volume control (12) to adjust the volume.

23. MIDI IN/OUT connectors

You can connect these to the MIDI connectors of your MIDI equipment to send and receive MIDI messages.

24. Digital output connector (optical)

Use this when you want to digitally connect an audio device, such as an MD or DAT unit. The signals sent from OUTPUT 5 and 6 (if using WDM, EDIROL FA-66 OUT 3 > see p. 31) are output to the digital output connector.

al input connector (optical) Use this when you want to input a digital audio signal from a CD/MD/DAT or similar device. The signal input to the digital input connector is input as INPUT 5 and 6 (in the case of WDM, EDIROL FA-66 In 3 see p. 31). If you want to record this digital input signal, turn on the digital input switch (7) You must input a signal of the same sampling frequency as that selected by the sample rate select switch (18).

Input jacks 3 and 4 are designed with a higher gain so that you can connect them to audio devices that have a lower output level, such as CD players or MIDI sound modules. If you connect these inputs to a device that has a higher output level, such as a mixer, use this input level adjustment knob (27) to adjust the level. If no device is connected to the Input jacks 3 and 4, turn the input level adjustment knob (27) all the way toward the left.
