Connecting a Digital Deck
If you have a DAT or other digital device that can send or receive S/PDIF digital audio data,
connect it to the S/PDIF In and S/PDIF Out RCA jacks on the back of the Digi 001 I/O Box.
Connecting Tascam DAT Recorders
If connecting to a Tascam DAT recorder, you’ll need to set the S/PDIF I/O format in
Pro Tools LE.
To set the S/PDIF I/O format in Pro Tools LE:
1
Launch Pro Tools LE and choose Setups > Hardware.
2
Click Other Options and set the S/PDIF I/O to Tascam. Click Done.
3
Click OK to close the Hardware Setup dialog.
Connecting Audio Sources to Digi 001
Audio sources of two types can be used with Digi 001: analog or digital.
Analog Audio
Analog audio signals are output by microphones, synths, mixers, and instruments with
magnetic pickups. Of these sources, microphones and magnetic pickup instruments
output the quietest signals, and generally require the most amplification. Digi 001 includes
preamps for these sources on Mic/Line inputs 1 and 2, and 48v phantom power for both
channels. Mic/Line inputs 1 and 2 accept XLR or 1/4” connectors.
Keyboards, preamps, and mixers output “line level” audio, which varies with each device
between the –10 and +4 standards. Use Digi 001’s line level inputs 3–8 (on the back of the
Digi 001 I/O Box) for these devices. Digi 001 includes software controllable gain to
