This section will take you through a very basic recording/mixdown session using as an example
a drum machine, electric bass, a DA-38 and a DAT machine. The purpose of this tutorial is to
familiarize you not only with the basic routing/functions on the TM-D4000 but also with the gain
structure of a digital mixer which is different from an analog mixer. We suggest that you take
the time to go through this brief section so that you can get the most out of your new TM-D4000
right away.
(Refer to section 1.3 for installing the IF-TD4000 TDIF interface card)
Be sure to make the connections in the diagram below with the power off on all units.
This will avoid possible damage to your equipment and allow the individual units to perform any
needed communication across the connections during power up.
T1 Connections
1. Connect a TDIF cable between the IF-TD4000 card in slot #1 on the mixer and the TDIF port
on the back of the DA-38.
2. Connect a Remote Cable (PW/848) from the Remote Out port on the IF-TD4000 card in slot #1 on
the mixer to the Remote In port on the back of the DA-38.
3. Connect an SPDIF cable from the SPDIF output of the mixer to the SPDIF input of the DAT
machine and an SPDIF cable from the SPDIF output of the DAT machine to the SPDIF input of the
mixer.
4. Connect the CR OUTPUT from the TM-D4000 to your speakers' power amp input or
directly to powered speakers.
