DIGITAL CARDS

This diagram demonstrates how to use three MIC/LINE 4 cards, providing up 

t

o 24 microphone and instrument inputs (12 Mic/Line inputs and 12 Line 

inputs). Three DIGITAL cards provide 24 output tracks to a hard disk recorder 

via ADAT optical connections (and Fader Bank 1) and 24 input tracks via 

ADAT optical connections (and Fader Bank 2) from the hard disk recorder for 

mixdown. The MIDI IN/OUTs provide MMC (MIDI Machine Control) to the hard 

disk recorder and MTC (MIDI Time Code) to the Digital X Bus. An AES card 

provides digital sends and returns for external effects so you can keep the 

signal in the digital domain, and the MIX OUT card provides two stereo line-level 

control room outputs (1=NEAR; 2=MAIN [not shown]) and two stereo 

headphone outputs for monitoring the input sources.
