328XD CONFIGURATION
Wordclock
In a configuration using the BRC, the 328XD must be made to be the wordclock master device. Enter the
328XD Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display. Using
the encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the ‘Clock Source Sel’ menu is highlighted, and
press <ENTER>. Here, either the internal sampling rate can be toggled between 44.1kHz and 48kHz.
As the BRC responds only to a 48kHz input, the 328XD must be set to Internal Clock at 48kHz. Use the
encoder to set the clock to 48kHz, press <ENTER> to set the sample rate and <MENU> to return to the
menu pages.
Tape Ports
To ensure that the 328XD Tape Ports are set to ADAT, enter the 328XD Menu pages by pressing the
<MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the PARAM encoder beneath the
display, scroll up or down until the ‘Tape Port Select’ menu is highlighted. Press <ENTER> and keep
pressing the Up cursor arrow until the ‘<Tape Ch17-24 >’ menu page is displayed. Using the PARAM
encoder, set the Bank Source to ADAT. Press the Down cursor arrow once, to set the wordlength. Newer
ADATs such as the XT-20 or LX-20 are capable of 20-bit recording, and so for optimum results, 20-bit
wordlength can be selected here. If using the black Classic ADAT, 16-bit should be selected. The ADAT
manuals should be consulted for further information. The wordlength is set on the 328XD with the
PARAM encoder.
