MY8-AT—ADAT
The MY8-AT card provides ADAT format digital I/O via two MultiChannel Optical
Digital Interface connectors, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.
MY8-AE—AES/EBU
The MY8-AE card provides AES/EBU format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub connector,
and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.
MY8-TD—Tascam TDIF-1
The MY8-TD card provides Tascam TDIF-1 format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub con-
nector, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths. A BNC connector is provided

MY8-TD cards feature a device selector switch (EXT: 88/INT: 38) that should be set to
match the device being connected. This should be set to “EXT: 88” when connecting a
Tascam DA-88, or “INT: 38” when connecting a Tascam DA-38, DME32, or other
device.
