INSTALLATION
Note:
To use your ES8 devices outside of fixed installations, they must be mounted on slide rails inside the rack to
insure correct support and prevent damages during transport and handling.

Internal settings (ES8in/ES8mic only)
On ES8in, impedance and the nominal level of entry, as well as the sampling rate can be configured using
internal jumpers.
On ES8mic, only the sampling rate is configurable.
The default values are:
internal jumpers.
On ES8mic, only the sampling rate is configurable.
The default values are:
- Nominal input level: +4 dBu
- Impedance:
- Impedance:
22.2kΩ
- Sampling frequency: 48 kHz.
In case you need to change the default settings, please refer to appendix B of this manual.
Note: These operations require opening of the cabinet and shall be done by qualified personnel only.

Connecting your EtherSound device
It is recommended to establish all connections before powering up the device.
Power
Before plugging the power cord, make sure that:
• the power cord is not damaged
• the AC outlet used is properly earthed.
• the AC outlet used is properly earthed.
Just like any other audio system, power the individual devices up following the audio path and power down
in the opposite direction.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from where people could trip
over it.

Network
The cable type most commonly used today is CAT5e. For more detailed information, please refer to the
chapter “Ethernet cables” in this manual.

The network connections are established via two Neutrik

RJ45 receptacles.
Connection is very easy: use the base labeled “IN” (“FROM”) to input the EtherSound stream,
the base labeled “OUT” (“TO”) to send the EtherSound stream to other devices.

RJ45 provide secure connection through a latching system. To
disconnect the cable from the device, press the latch, then withdraw the cable while
maintaining the latch pushed.
If you use ES8in/ES8mic as the Primary Master, the “IN” (“FROM”) port may be connected directly to a
control computer for system configuration with a crossover cable; if connection is established via a switch,
standard cables are to be used.

Example 1: point-to-point transmission of eight audio channels
This application is very easy with EtherSound ES8in/ES8mic and ES8out.
