Using N22 and N22H with 500ADAT
500ADAT features 4 C.A.S.T. RRTT ports that enable cost effective and organised cable
management around your studio by repurposing off-the-shelf Cat5/6/7 Networking cables to
transport 4 channels of balanced analogue audio (mic, Line, or Instrument level) over a single
cable.
Connect an N22 or N22H to one of 500ADAT’s C.A.S.T. ports and you can place analogue I/O
where you need it - whether it's in the live room, vocal booth, or the bedroom next door!
By connecting an N22H to the C.A.S.T. A port on the rear panel of 500ADAT, you can send a
headphone mix out to the connected N22H whilst also receiving 2 inputs via N22H’s combi
connections. These inputs can then be directly fed into the front of modules 1 and 2
respectively by switching the Input source switch to C.A.S.T. A R1/R2 on slots 1 and 2.
This is the perfect setup when a ‘vocal booth’ or ‘isolation booth’ is required as you can send
the monitor mix to the vocalist whilst also receiving 2 analogue inputs by using just a single
Cat 5 cable. Talkback is also managed by C.A.S.T. as 500R8 sends the talkback signal down
C.A.S.T. to enable you to speak to the musician at the other end at the touch of a button. N22H
can also be powered via a 9v battery which allows you to place the musician in any
environment without power being a necessity.
By connecting up to 4 N22/N22H’s to the back of a 500ADAT, you can create a completely plug
and play, cost effective, all-analogue cabling distribution network that can be used to build up
your studio and maximise your available space in the best possible way. Why not place the
vocalist in the bathroom? Or the drums in the hall?
