SSL UF8 User Guide
Connector Panel
The recessed section hosts UF8's connectors.
USB - 'C' Type Connector
Connect one of the included USB cables from your computer to the USB port on UF8. This handles all of the communication
between your DAW and UF8, via the SSL 360° software application.
THRU - 'A' Type Connector
The THRU connector can be used to chain multiple UF8s together, without needing to plug each unit into your computer or a hub
individually. It can also be used to plug in USB dongles.
DC Connector
Use the included DC Power Supply to provide power for your UF8.
FS1 & FS2 - 1/4" Jack Connectors
These allow for the connection of foot-switches, which can be used to trigger DAW commands or user-assigned keyboard shortcut
sequences.
UF8 has been tested with popular foot-switches such as the BOSS FS-6 (other brands are available), whose foot-switch behaviour
(or polarity as it is often referred to), is a 'normally closed' switch. In some cases, these foot-switches offer the ability to change
the polarity.
Please use a foot-switch designed for 'normally closed' operation and also, to ensure full compatibility use a momentary action
foot-switch, or choose a foot-switch that can be set to momentary. This will ensure correct operation with assigned DAW commands.
