Digital Interfaces for Connection with other
Digital Equipment
Should you wish to interface your DA-38 digitally with a Digital
Audio Workstation (DAW), the IF-88AE brings both AES/EBU
and S/PDIF digital I/O capability to the DA-38. The IF-88AE
provides 4 XLR connectors each for AES/EBU input and output,
enabling you to transfer all 8 tracks in a single pass. S/PDIF
digital I/O is accomplished with four keys labeled 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
and 7-8. Simply press the key that corresponds to the pair of
tracks you wish to transfer at any given time.
The IF-88SD digital interface is the DA-38Õs link to the world of
DASH (Digital Audio Stationary Head) recorders. Used with the
PW-SD1 and PW-SD2 DASH connector cables, digital audio
tracks can be easily transferred between the two formats.
