ADAT connections
Use two TOSLINK-type fiber cables to connect the
ADAT device (
ADAT IN to OUT on the remote
device) and ADAT OUT to IN on the remote device).
If the ADAT is to be controlled from the DM-24, a
third-party device to convert MMC to ADAT sync
commands will be necessary. Examples of such
devices are the JL Cooper dataSYNC
2 , or the MOTU
MTP AV. These convert the ABS code from the
ADAT to MTC, allowing synchronization for auto-
mation purposes.
Digital inputs and outputs
The two sets of digital inputs and two sets of digital
outputs each comprise an XLR-type connector and
an RCA pin jack. Typically, the XLR-type connector
will be used for AES/EBU digital audio, while the
RCA is used for SPDIF.
These inputs can be assigned to any of the channel
modules (1 through 32). They can therefore be used
as returns from digital effects units, etc. as well as
source inputs from CD players, DAT decks, etc.
The DM-24 incorporates a sampling frequency con-
verter, allowing input from sources with a sampling
frequency different from that of the DM-24.
The DM-24 can output audio data from both the
XLR and the RCA connectors of each digital output
at the same time.
Each of these output pairs can be used as the stereo
mastering outputs, as paired buss outputs, as paired
aux sends, or as the feed to the control room monitor-
ing system.
The sampling frequency of the digital audio from
these outputs is always the system sampling fre-
quency of the DM-24.
