K2500 to Pro Tools or other hard-disk system
Application
Recording two or more channels from a K2500-series instrument to a hard-disk
audio system, such as Digidesign’s Pro Tools.
What you need
• The K2500 must be equipped with a KDS digital input/output or KDFX
digital effects option.
• Use a KDS cable (included with the
DMTi
) to connect the K2500 to the
DMTi
.
• AES/EBU XLR-to-XLR cable(s), or AES/EBU-to-S/PDIF adapters, depend-
ing on which types of inputs the Pro Tools system has.
Hookup
• Connect the KDS cable between the K2500 and the
DMTi
.
• Connect AES/EBU (or S/PDIF) cables from the
DMTi
’s outputs to the Pro
Tools inputs that you want to use.
• You may want to record using Pro Tools’ sample-rate clock as the master, in
which case you have two options:
1) connect a BNC-to-BNC coaxial cable from Pro Tools’ word clock output
to the
DMTi
’s
Word Clock In
, or
2) connect an AES/EBU (or S/PDIF) cable from one of Pro Tools’ digital
outputs to one of the
AES
inputs on the
DMTi
.
Settings
• Set the
Destination
knobs for all of the pairs that you are using to one of the
KDS
pairs.
• If you are not using Pro Tools as the clock master, set
Clock Select
to
KDS
,
or one of the
Int
settings. Also, you must set the “Sync” switch in the Pro
Tools setup software to “Digital”.
• If you are using Pro Tools as the clock master, set
Clock Select
accordingly:
either to
WDCLK
, if you are using that option, or to
AES1
or
AES2
if you
are using that option. Set the “Sync” switch in the Pro Tools setup software
to “Internal”.
