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, 4 BUS OUT, 8 BUS OUT) the INPUT MODE switch makes it unnecessary to reconnect the cables
at record/playback. Furthermore, the VC-8 can be used as a S/P DIF/analog converter, and by
connecting to the sound card contained in various computers with digital input/output, it will give
a clean record/playback environment free of internal noise generated in the computer.
Before operating VC-8, it is recommended to thoroughly read this manual to insure long life of this
equipment.

Location
* Avoid using the VC-8 in the following locations:
* Locations of extreme low or high temperatures, or
extreme changes in temperature.
* Locations with excessive moisture or dust.
* Locations where direct sunlight falls for an
extended time, or near a stove or other source of
heat.

* Locations where electrical voltage varies.
* Unstable locations or where there is heavy
vibration.
* Near strong magnetic fields (on top of a television
or speaker).
* A digital multiple system can be setup by using
the adat optical and analog in/out converter of
the VC-8 together with various analog and digital
mixers provided with adat optical such as the
VR800.
