Notes: 1) Connector type on Model 58 is 25-pin D-subminiature
female. Installer must provide plug (male). Connector
uses 4-40 threaded inserts for locking with mating plug.
2) Wiring scheme follows Tascam DA-88 convention.
Standard DA-88-type wiring harnesses are directly
compatible, with the exception of 4-40 screw threads
being required.
Appendix B
Model 58 Single-Channel
Mode
DIP switch 5 on the Model 58’s front panel
allows the operating mode to be set.
Installations that utilize a Model 59 Control
Console will use the two-channel mode,
configured by setting DIP switch 5 to the
down (off) position. In this mode, a Model
58 supports two output channels and four
2-channel input pairs. Special applications
can use the Model 58’s single-channel
operating mode, configured by setting DIP
switch 5 to the on (up) position. Figures
12, 13, and 14 provide detailed connection
information on the input, outputs, and
inserts when a Model 58 is operating in
the single-channel mode.
The concept of the single-channel mode
is simple: The signal flow is organized so
that any of the eight inputs can be routed
to one output. (This is in contrast to the
two-channel mode where the eight inputs
are organized as four pairs.) In the single-
channel mode, a maximum of four of the
8 inputs can be simultaneously routed to
one output channel. Specifically, monitor
output 1 (A and B), meter output 1, insert
1/channel 1, insert 2/ channel 2 are active
in the single-channel mode. Monitor output
2 (A and B), meter output 2, insert 1/
channel 2, and insert 2/channel 2 are
disabled.
It is expected that a number of applica-
tions for the single-channel mode will
arise. A special version of the Model 59
Control Console can be created at the
factory to allow up to eight 8-channel
sources to be connected to eight Model 58

units. During 1998 Studio Technologies’
expects to release an additional control
console unit to support automatic direct/
play switching for film sound applications.
(Some of you may know this as PEC/direct
monitoring.) It is also anticipated that
custom installations will be created that
generate MIDI system-exclusive mes-
sages to “drive” Model 58 units. Contact
the factory for additional information.
