The OXF-R3 supports a powerful interface to Sony DASH/DASH PLUS

machines, including the PCM-3348 and PCM-3348HR 48-track

recorders. The multitrack busses can be dithered to 16, 20 or 24 bits

depending on the resolution of the recorder.

Sony has used industry-standard interfacing protocols for audio and

control signals, so almost any professional audio device can be simply

connected to the console.

The OXF-R3 can be referenced to an external word clock supplied

directly from a Sony DASH machine or virtually any other appropriate

device, and can stay locked to an external reference even if it is

varispeeded.
