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.

Model VC-8 Owner’s Manual Names and Functions ANALOG INPUT MODE switch This switch is used to select the channel to which the ADAT output should be assigned for the signal input to the ANALOG INPUT jack. This switch will be active only when the DIGITAL MODE switch is set to ADAT. Refer to pages 6 and 7 for details. WORD IN terminal switch This must be switched ON when the external WORD clock is input. POWER switch/POWER LED AC power to the VC-8 is switched ON/OFF (or “standby”).

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.

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.

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.
