TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
S Automation control keys and
indicators
These keys (
REHEARSE
,
WRITE
,
TRIM
and
REVERT
) are used to control the automa-
tion functions. These keys have other functions, as
selected by the
2ND F
key (
F
).
NOTE
Although some of these keys have similar names to
other keys on the DM-24, note that their functions are
restricted to automation operations.
Rear panel
The rear panel of the DM-24 houses the digital audio
and control connections.
NOTE
Only use TASCAM-supplied and TASCAM-approved
cables when making digital audio and control connec-
tions to the DM-24. Though the cables and connectors
may resemble computer cables, they serve different
purposes, and meet a different set of specifications. The
use of cables other than TASCAM cables will at best
cause the equipment to work erratically, and at worst
cause damage to the equipment.
If the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or
results in damage, the warranty is voided.
1 TO METER
This 25-pin ‘D’-sub connector is
used to connect the DM-24 and the optional MU-24/
DM meter unit.
2 ADAT [IN, OUT]
Use these “lightpipe” con-
nectors to connect ADAT-compatible units to the
DM-24 with a Toslink-type optical cable. Each of
these connectors carries eight digital audio input or
outputs channels.
The input may be used as a clock source, and routed
to any of the three groups of eight input channels (1
through 8, 9 through 16, 17 through 24).
3 WORD SYNC [OUT/THRU, IN] and
switch
These BNC connectors are used for word
sync. The switch controls the behavior of the connec-
tors (75
Ω input impedance and switching between
OUT and THRU functions) as described here:
A
THRU
setting means that the connector echoes the
word sync signal received at the
IN
. An
OUT
setting
means that the DM-24 originates a word sync signal
(and is therefore to be the word sync master for the
system).
