The core of the H8000FW consists of two separate effects processors or machines, shown above as DSP A and DSP B. Each of these has eight inputs and eight outputs. Also shown are two “terminal blocks”, MAIN Inputs (shown above as Main in) and MAIN Outputs (shown above as Main out), which are used to connect to them from the outside world. Each block shown above has inputs on its left side and outputs on its right.
The MAIN Inputs block is where all the external analog and digital inputs are connected.
See Configuring the Main Inputs
Each DSP may be fed from any output from either DSP or from the MAIN Inputs block. In the interest of avoiding annoying feedback, you will not normally connect a DSP’s input to one of its own outputs, but if you really want to, you can …
See Configuring the DSP input sources
49
The MAIN Outputs block may be fed from any of the outputs of either DSP or from the MAIN Inputs block. Each channel has two inputs - signals connected to then will be added together (mixed). Be aware that if two peak level signals are added in this way, it can overload the outputs.
See Configuring the MAIN Outputs
The first four channels of MAIN Outputs feeds four analog outputs, as shown. Similarly, the second four channels feed four AES/EBU outputs. The MAIN Outputs block may also feed other outputs, to be discussed later.
See Connecting to the H8000FW’s outputs
The example above shows DSP A being fed from the MAIN Inputs block, and its outputs feeding MAIN Outputs. DSP B is shown as not used.
50
This example shows DSP A and DSP B running in parallel, both being fed from Main in and their outputs being mixed at Main out.
