IF-AN 24 24 Channel AD/DA Module Pin outs And to what type of plug/ sock

[Christopher Smith]

Hi I am looking for this information IF-AN 24 24 Channel AD/DA Module Pin outs And to what type of plug/ sock

The 25 pin D-Sub connector fits on the back of the IF-AN 24, sending out 8 channels to or from your patch bay / mixer, either balanced jacks or XLR female or / male.

3 x 25 pin D-Sub to 8 channels inputs & outputs so 6 multicore looms in total. You probably only need one 25 pin D-Sub 8 way multicore loom for the recording inputs if you are recording 8 channels or less at one time, as you can actually assign the inputs to record on any channel.

The 25 pin D sub connection analogue wiring diagram download is on the product page above, if you want to make your own multicore looms.

I believe Tascam & other companies have the same 25 pin D-Sub connector analogue wiring, it's the digital versions which are different.

The Tascam MX2424 does indeed use the "Tascam" pinout for both Analog & AES. Be aware that the AES & Analog pinouts are very different because AES send 2 signals down one pair. Therefore you get 8 ins & 8 outs on one Dsub25 However there are others, which fortunately are not so common now. Harrison has a pinout that is GHC in triangles from pin 1. i.e starting at the other end of the connector to Tascam. Yamaha has a completely random pinout for one of their boxes. Dolby has a weird pin out on some of their bixes, Euphonix used a different AES pinout to the Tascam one (guess how I found that out).

It pays to read the manual for anything you are connecting or face the possibility of having to do things twice

The Tascam AES 8 way 25 pin D-Sub wiring are the same as Digidesign / Avid Pro Tools. I've got the Digi branded AES cable loom going to the Tascam IFAE24 AES interface on mine.

One of the few times where digidesign copied a normal protocol instead of making you pay for their overpriced shitty cables .....

AES59

An AES standard which defines the use and pin-outs of 25-pin D-sub connectors for eight-channel balanced analogue audio travelling in a single direction in or out of a device, and an alternative bi-directional eight-channel digital interfacing (four AES3 threes in each direction). It conforms...

It might be an AES standard but if you have ever worked in broadcast you will know it's not the only pinout on the block.....
