Apogee Inter-Face Cable (IFC)


Special Purpose Interface Breakout Cables A number of specialized breakout and interface cables are available from Apogee. These are typically designed for our converter products in which multiway connectors are used to get a large number of inputs or outputs into a single connector. At the other end of the cable, usually 1m in length, will be standard connectors, such as XLRs.


AD8-IFC Use With: AD-16X, ROSETTA 800	FORMAT: Analog In Description: Eight channel analog input connection with 8 Neutrik XLR female connectors to a DB-25 multipin connector with a metal shell for improved grounding and RF rejection. All 8 channels are wired balanced as per the Tascam analog wiring standard. Thumb screws are 2.6mm. Application: Provides 8 analog XLR inputs to a DB-25 multipin connector for Rosetta 800, AD-16X and any other device that supports the Tascam analog wiring format.

DA8-IFC Use With: DA-16X, ROSETTA 800	FORMAT: Analog Out Description: Eight channel analog output connection with 8 Neutrik XLR male connectors to a DB-25 multipin connector with a metal shell for improved grounding and RF rejection. All 8 channels are wi red balanced as per the Tascam analog wiring standard. Thumb screws are 2.6mm. Application: Provides 8 analog XLR outputs from a DB-25 multipin connector for Rosetta 800, DA-16X and any other device that supports the Tascam analog wiring format.

AES8-IFC Use With: ROSETTA 800, Trak2	FORMAT:AES/EBU In/Out Description: Eight channels of AES/EBU* input/output connection with 4 Neutrik XLR male and 4 Neutrik XLR female connectors to a DB-25 multipin connector with a metal shell for improved grounding and RF rejection. This cable provides 8 channels of AES input and output as per the AES standard. Thumb screws are 2.6mm Application: Provides 4 AES/EBU* XLR inputs and 4 AES/EBU* XLR outputs to a DB-25 multipin connector for Rosetta 800 and any other device that supports the Yamaha 8 channel digital I/O wiring format.

AD16-AES-IFC Use With: AD-16X	FORMAT:AES/EBU In/Out Description: Sixteen channel AES/EBU* output connection with 8 Neutrik XLR male connectors to a DB-25 multipin connector with a metal shell for improved grounding and RF rejection. This cable provides 16 channels of AES output as per the AES standard.Thumb screws are 2.6mm. Application: Provides 8 AES/EBU* XLR outputs to a DB-25 multipin connector for AD-16X. Provides 16 channels of AES/EBU output.

DA16-AES-IFC Use With: DA-16X	FORMAT:AES/EBU In/Out Description: Sixteen channel AES/EBU* input connection with 8 Neutrik XLR female connectors to a DB-25 multipin connector with a metal shell for improved grounding and RF rejection. This cable provides 16 channels of AES input as per the AES standard. Thumb screws are 2.6mm. Application: Provides 8 AES/EBU* XLR inputs to a DB-25 multipin connector for DA-16X. Provides 16 channels of AES/EBU input.

Below is a description of the interface and breakout cables currently used with Apogee equipment, with their Apogee part numbers where appropriate, and an indication of alternative sources. Use the part number when ordering the Apogee cable from your dealer. These parts are not currently available from the On-line Store.

AES16-DIGI-IFC To connect the Apogee AD-16 and DA-16 to the Pro Tools HD 192 Digital I/O, you can utilize a AES/EBU connection at 96k. This special cable connects the AD and DA-16 directly to the 192 Digital I/O.

AES16-OUT-IFC DB25 to 8 x XLR Male. This cable connects the AES Output of the AD-16 AES/EBU Option Card to standard AES/EBU XLR connectors. The wiring is the same as the AD-8000-AES-IFC, except that all connectors are XLR male instead of half male, half female. Alternative: you can use an AD-8000-AES-IFC and add four XLR male-to-male adaptors.

AES16-IN-IFC DB25 to 8 x XLR Female. This cable connects the AES Input of a DA-16 to standard AES/EBU XLR connectors. The wiring is the same as the AD-8000-AES-IFC, except that all connectors are XLR female instead of half male, half female. Alternative: you can use an AD-8000-AES-IFC and add four XLR female-to-female adaptors.

AES-8-IFCDB25 to 4 x XLR Male + 4 x XLR Female. This cable connects an AMBus AES or AES+ card to standard AES/EBU XLR connectors. The cable handles four pairs (eight channels) in each direction. The wiring is the same as Yamaha AES interfaces using the DB25 connector. Alternatives are available from Yamaha, Hosa and others.

Digi-8+ Interface Cablefor Pro Tools Mix Plus systems or Pro Tools HD Legacy port. This cable connects between an Apogee Digi-8+ card and the PCI card in a Mix Plus system, or the Legacy port on a Pro Tools HD system. It is a standard Pro Tools part and can only be obtained from Digidesign dealers.

AD8-IFC DB25 to 8 x XLR Female. This cable allows the Apogee AP-8AD Yamaha A/D card to accept eight channels of analog input. Also suitable for use with the AD-16 (quantity 2 required for 16 channels). The wiring is the same as the analog input connector on a Tascam machine such as the DA-88. Alternatives are available from Tascam, Hosa and others.

DA8-IFC DB25 to 8 x XLR Male. This cable delivers eight channels of analog output from the Apogee AP-8DA Yamaha card. Also suitable for use with the DA-16 (quantity 2 required for 16 channels), and the Trak2 or AD-8000 8-channel DAC cards. The wiring is the same as the analog output from a Tascam system such as the DA-88. Alternatives are available from Tascam, Hosa and others.

SDIF-I/P-IFC Multipin D connector to multiple BNC. This cable connects between the SDIF output of a DASH digital multitrack and the INPUT connector of an AMBus SDIF-II card. It is available only from Apogee dealers.

SDIF-O/P-IFC Multipin D connector to multiple BNC. This cable connects between the SDIF input of a DASH digital multitrack and the OUTPUT connector of an AMBus SDIF-II card. It is available only from Apogee dealers.
