1. Microphone Inputs
These balanced XLR connectors are for the addition of
microphones to the Firefly ADA8. These analog inputs are
not routed directly to analog outputs, but are rather routed
to the digital ADAT output.
2. Line Inputs
These balanced ¼" TRS phone jack connectors are for
the connection of line-level devices and microphones
to the Firefly ADA8. Like the microphone inputs, these
connectors are not routed directly to analog outputs –
instead they're routed to the digital output.

3. Gain Control
The gain control adjusts the input gain of both the Mic in
and Line in of the corresponding input channel. The gain
can be adjusted between +10 and +60 dB.
4. Signal Indicator
This LED indicator will light up when an input signal is
present on the corresponding channel.
5. Clip Indicator
The clip LED indicator will light up when the input signal
of the corresponding channel is too high. For best use of
audio, the clip control can light up for occasional peaks.
If the peak indicator lights up too often, reduce the gain
control to help protect the unit and your audio.

When the Firefly ADA8 acts as the master clock source,
sending out a clock signal to external devices, this LED

This LED will light up when the Firefly ADA8 is externally
synced via either ADAT or Word Clock.

Pushing this button will activate +48V DC of phantom
power for microphone inputs 1 through 8. This is perfect for
use with condenser microphones and other input devices
that require phantom power (passive direct boxes, for
example). Please note that Dynamic microphones do not
require phantom power. When phantom power is active,
the LED that accompanies this button will illuminate.
NB. Be sure to mute your amplifier when activating and/or
deactivating phantom power to avoid loud pops from occurring.
Phantom power is not compatible with all microphones. Please
consult your microphone's manufacturer for information on
whether your microphone is compatible with phantom power.

Push this button to turn the Firefly ADA8 on. When the unit
is turned on, the corresponding LED indicator will light up
to indicate power is being supplied to the unit. Be sure
to leave this switch in the off position when connecting
the AC power connector to the mains. Unplugged the
unit from the mains when it won't be used for extended
periods of time.
