Precautions

• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects inside this unit are a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Should this unit/AC adapter/power supply be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, ﬁre or electrical shock may result.

• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.

• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be: 10 cm at the sides, 15 cm behind, and 30 cm above.

• For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole.

• If the airﬂow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a ﬁre.

• This unit has ventilation holes at the top, bottom, and rear to prevent the internal temperature rising too high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a ﬁre hazard.

• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

• The digital circuits of this unit may induce a slight noise into nearby radios and TVs. If noise occurs, relocate the affected equipment.

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (–).

Rack Mounting Caution

If the unit is rack mounted and transported regularly, for example, when on a tour, we recommend that the rear of the unit be supported by ﬁtting a pair metal brackets, one each side. The following drawing provides the information necessary to make such brackets. Note that only one bracket is shown here and the bracket for the other side must be bent in the opposite direction.

Thank you for choosing the AI8 analog input box, or the AI8-ML8/AI8-AD8/AI8-ML4AD4 analog input

unit, speciﬁcally designed for the Yamaha PM1D digital audio mixing system.

The AI8 inputs signals to the DSP unit DSP1D/DSP1D-EX engine (controlled via the CS1D control sur-

face). Up to ten AI8s can be connected to each DSP1D/DSP1D-EX.

Be sure to ask an authorized Yamaha service engineer to install the card and set up the unit.

Never perform installation and setup by yourself.

Cards installable on the AI8 analog input box:

LMY2-ML : MIC/LINE input card

• LMY4-AD : AD card

Up to eight cards can be installed.

INPUT UNIT ID indicator

This indicator displays the ID number of the INPUT connector of the DSP unit DSP1D/DSP1D-EX connected to the AI8. If an error occurs in the connection to the DSP1D, or if the unit does not lock to the wordclock signal, one of the following error indications appears.

Error message

: The AI8 is connected to the OUTPUT connector

of the DSP1D/DSP1D-EX. Connect the AI8 to the INPUT connector.

: A cable is disconnected from the OUTPUT A, B,

or C connector on the rear panel, or the connection is made incorrectly. If the connection is

proper, replace the cable. : The unit does not lock to the wordclock signal. : The control signal is not being received correctly.

connector on the DSP1D/DSP1D-EX)

Illuminating or ﬂashing dots mean that the AI8 is

connected in Mirror mode from the DSP1D/

DSP1D-EX.

If “

If the control signal from the CS1D has changed the setting during Mirror mode operation and it does not match the CONTROL INPUT PORT switch ( 4 ) setting any more, this indicator changes in the following order.

“.x.”

POWER ON/OFF

Use this switch to turn the power to the AI8 on and off. When the power is turned on, the INPUT UNIT ID indicator lights up.

CONTROL PORT switch

This switch enables you to select a port used to control the AI8 via the DSP unit DSP1D/DSP1D-EX. Select from OUTPUT A, B, and C to receive the control signal for switching between channels A and B on the LMY2-ML analog input card, or turning the phantom power on and off. During Mirror mode operation, the control signal sent from the CS1D has priority, and the CONTROL PORT switch is disabled. In this case, the INPUT UNIT ID indicator shows the status. For more information, refer to 1 INPUT UNIT ID indicator.

OUTPUT connectors A, B, C

These connectors are used to output multi-channel digital audio signals. The same signal is routed to all three connectors. Be sure to use the included genuine Yamaha half-pitch 68-pin cable for connection. Optional genuine Yamaha cables in a variety of lengths are also available.

WORD CLOCK IN jack, ON/OFF switch

The WORD CLOCK IN jack is used to provide the word clock to the AI8 from a connected external device or a clock generator. Use a BNC cable with an impedance of 75 The WORD CLOCK ON/OFF switch is used to terminate the word clock connection. Basically, if the AI8 is the last device of the word clock chain, or if nothing is connected to the WORD CLOCK IN/OUT jacks, set this switch to ON.
