Aphex 5200 RC Interface - Manual (Page 5)

Avid/Digidesign
Console Interface Operations
Using an Avid/ Digidesign control surface such as
the Icon, D-Command or Pro Tools HD software
to control your Aphex 1788A’s or 188’s via the
Model 5200 is quite easy. The Model 5200 will
accept and translate the remote protocols for Avid
remote pres and allow you to control your Aphex
preamps from your Avid control surface.
The one thing that you will need to purchase to
make your system work with the Model 5200 and
Aphex pre’s is a MIDI interface for you Pro Tools
system. Connect the MIDI IN’s and OUT’s from
your MIDI interface into the Model 5200. MIDI
out from Pro Tools to MIDI in of the 5200, MIDI
out of the 5200, to MIDI in of your Pro Tools
MIDI interface.
Connect your Model 5200 Ethernet port to a
router. We suggest connecting your router to a
switcher (that typically lives next to your Aphex
pres).
Your Aphex pre’s will need to be setup with their
own unique “Net” number as explained in the
Aphex 1788A or 188 owner’s manual.
In Pro Tools you will need to configure your soft-
ware for the Digidesign PRE as described in their
owner’s manual.
Press the remote WAKEUP button
You know have control of your Aphex 1788A or
188’s from your Avid Digidesgn system.
