Surround Monitor Controller 2489
The SMC enclosure is EMC-safe and effectively shielded against HF interfer-
ence. Nonetheless, you should carefully consider where you place the unit to
avoid electrical disturbances. The SMC and all devices to be connected should
be turned off before connections are made or change to avoid damage to your
speakers and ears.
Inputs and outputs
INPUT A & INPUT C (Sub-D 25; analog)
This Sub-D connector provides balanced connections for INPUT A & INPUT C
(INPUT A for six surround channels, INPUT C for two stereo channels). Use this
connector for your multichannel source, i.e. DAW or DA converter.
SLAVE OUT (Sub-D 25; analog)
The SLAVE OUT provides a direct output of the INPUT A & INPUT C signals
for connection to external equipment e.g. recorders, leaving the converter
outputs free.
INPUT B & INPUT D (RCA)
Eight RCA input connectors are available for six surround channels and two
stereo channels. INPUT B provides surround connection for SACD or DVD
players, while INPUT D provides connection for stereo sources such as DAT or
CD players.
Tip: If a recording device is connected to the SLAVE OUT, its outputs can be
connected to INPUT B for tape monitoring purposes.
SURROUND and SPEAKER OUTPUTS (1/4“ TRS)
Eight balanced, 1/4" TRS connectors allow connection of a six-channel
surround speaker set and a stereo speaker pair. Use standard mono 1/4” plugs
for unbalanced connections.
Sub-D 25 connector pin configuration
The pin configuration complies with the TASCAM standard.
