or mixers. Sony 9-pin uses a 9-pin D-sub terminated cable to transmit transport, record status and other
control information. MMC uses MIDI to transmit similar types of information.
To switch between 9-pin and MMC machine control formats:
1. Use
the
MENU/PREV

ENTER
key to go to the
MAIN / SYNC MENU / MACHINE CONTROL

press the
ENTER
key.
2. Use the up and down arrow keys till

3. Use the right and left arrow keys to select
9-PIN
or

Configuration
Now that you have your RADAR
24 hooked up and ready to go, we can help you make sure that the system
settings are configured correctly for your situation.
Operating Level
You can match the input and output levels of RADAR
24 with the input and output levels of other pieces of
equipment in your studio. Although the inputs and outputs can be adjusted independently, all inputs share the
same operating level. The same holds true for all of the outputs.
Because a zero meter reading on a digital recorder represents the absolute maximum level that can be
recorded, a much lower nominal signal level should be specified. With analog VU meters, 0 VU represented
this nominal signal level and above that there was “headroom”, which allowed for dynamic surges and
transients. With today’s digital recorders a 0 VU signal level usually corresponds to a digital meter reading
somewhere between –14 and –20. This is where the operating level of the RADAR
24 comes in. There are
four different settings for input level and four different settings for output level. They are:
+24 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –20 when a 0 VU tone is applied
+22 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –18 when a 0 VU tone is applied
+20 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –16 when a 0 VU tone is applied
+18 dBu – results in a digital meter reading of –14 when a 0 VU tone is applied
