Back Panel
The FC726 back panel is shown below. Numbers in the subsequent figures correspond to the numbered items below.
1. AC Power Input
Connect the power cable shipped with the FC726 to its AC
input and an AC mains power source.
2. Format A Common DB-50 Connectors
Seven common DB-50 connectors connect third-party devices
to the FC726. Each connector provides eight bidirectional au-
dio channels. You must use the appropriate adapters for each
format to connect the third-party devices. See “Format A
Adapters” on page 2.
3. Format A AES Connectors
Seven DB-25 connectors connect AES devices to the FC726.
Each connector provides eight bidirectional channels (four
AES pairs). To connect to the third-party devices, use a
DB-25-to-XLR breakout cable available from Avid.
4. Format A MADI IN and MADI OUT
The Format A MADI In and MADI Out BNC connectors inter-
face with non-Avid MADI devices. At 48 kHz, MADI A pro-
vides 24-bit audio on 56 channels. At 96 kHz, only 28 24-bit
audio channels (1–28) are available.
5. Service DB-9 Jack
This jack connects to a PC serial port to upgrade the FC726
firmware.

Do not use DB-25-to-XLR breakout cables made by
other companies because the pin numbering may be
incompatible. See Appendix A, “Pinout and Cable
Specifications” for specific cable information.
Unlike MADI B, which has a second set of I/O connec-
tors, MADI A provides only 28 channels at 96 kHz.
Do not connect anything to the Service DB-9 jack unless
instructed to do so by Avid technical support.
