Summing Mixer Expansion Via C.A.S.T. LINK
The C.A.S.T. LINK port on the rear panel of 500ADAT can
be connected to the corresponding C.A.S.T. LINK port on
500R8 to double the channel count of available
analogue summing from 8 to 16 channels.
The C.A.S.T. LINK connection Transmits 500ADAT’s stereo
summing mixer (TT) whilst simultaneously receiving the
stereo Aux Mix (RR) from the connected 500R8 via the
same shielded Cat5 cable. Those four audio paths are
broken down as follows:
Receive 1 + 2
Receives 500R8’s Stereo Aux Mix
The two receive paths of the C.A.S.T. LINK connector are sent to 500ADAT’s Aux Blend
controls to enable the user to blend-in 500R8’s Aux mix with 500ADAT’s summing mixer
for monitoring via 500ADAT’s 2 headphones outputs.
The Receive path from the connected 500R8 also features the talkback that has been
generated on 500R8 so that the engineer operating the session can communicate with
musicians connected to the headphones outputs of 500ADAT.
Transmit 1 + 2
Transmits 500ADAT’s Summing Mixer (Pre Aux Blend controls)
The two transmit paths of the C.A.S.T. LINK connector featuring 500ADAT’s Summing
Mixer output are combined with 500R8’s own Summing Mixer and sent directly to USB
Inputs 9/10 and physical Mix Outputs of 500R8. In this configuration, 500ADAT doubles
the system’s available Summing Mixer channels to 16.
