Model VC-8 Owner’s Manual INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for having purchased the Fostex Model VC-8. The VC-8 is an adat/analog converter which allows connections to be made with adat optical exclusive digital multirecorder such as the VR-800 and various analog mixers. In order to accomplish high quality collaboration with analog mixers, the professional 20 bit type are employed for AD/DA. Also, to build a most effective system matched with the number of analog mixer output BUSes (2 BUS OUT,

Model VC-8 Owner’s Manual Connecting Examples Example at operating it as the ADAT-ANALOG converter The following connecting schematic is an example of locating the VC-8 between an analog mixer with 8 TAPE IN - 8 BUS OUT (or GROUP OUT) and the VR800 (digital multitrack recorder). In this system, the 8 BUS output from the analog mixer is converted to adat digital signals and the signals of channels 1~8 can be recorded on tracks 1~8 of the VR800.

Model VC-8 Owner’s Manual Setup of the VR800 1.Set the VR800 digital input track to [AdAt] and the digital in clock to [ASYnC](Asynchronous mode). 2.Set the VR800 digital output track to [AdAt]. Note: Refer to the VR800 Owner’s Manual for setups of the VR800 “Digital input track” and “Digital output track” settings. Setup of the VC-8 Note: Be sure to switch off power to the VC-8 at setup of the various selector switches. Should the switches be manipulated with power switched on, noise could be

Model VC-8 Owner’s Manual When connecting a 4 BUS OUT mixer Connect the mixer BUS OUT to INPUT 1~4 of the VC-8 and select [1-4] of the VC-8 ANALOG INPUT MODE switch. Signals input to ANALOG IN 1~4 will be assigned, respectively, to ADAT outputs 1~4 and 5~8. In other words, the ANALOG IN 1~4 signals will be simultaneously sent to tracks 1~4 and 5~8, thus 4 tracks each can be recorded without re-connecting the cables. 8 76 54321 IN OUT IN AD-12A ONLY DATA MIDI WORD OUT SCSI OPTICAL OUT IN OUT IN

Model VC-8 Owner’s Manual Example at operating it as the S/P DIF-ANALOG converter The following is a connecting example of using the VC-8 as a S/P DIF-ANALOG converter which makes it possible to extract sound from CD and DVD with the sound card contained in the computer with S/P DIF digital output. By separating the analog circuit from the computer, this system can playback (or record) a clear sound free of noise created in the computer. 8 76 54321 IN OUT IN Computer/with AD-12A ONLY OUT OPTIC
