Word sync clock connections
NOTE
In every digital audio setup, there must be one, and
only one, word sync source. If there is more than one
source in a system, there is a risk of causing damage to
the monitoring system (and your hearing).
The DM-24 can act as either a word sync clock mas-
ter or as a slave.
In the case of the DM-24 acting as a master for the
system, make sure that the switch by the BNC word
sync connectors is in the center position (75-ohm
IN
termination is OFF , and the DM-24 generates the
word sync signal from the OUT terminal).
In the case of the DM-24 being a word sync clock
slave, it is possible for the DM-24 to either retransmit
the word sync to other units, or to act as the last unit
in the word sync chain.
When retransmitting the sync, set the switch to the
left position (75-ohm
IN termination is OFF and the
OFF/THRU setting is set to THRU ).
If the DM-24 is the last unit in the word sync chain,
the switch should be in the right position (75-ohm
IN
termination is ON ).
All input and output is at TTL level.
Select the word sync source using the CLOCK screen
in the DIGITAL section (“CLOCK settings” on
page 24).
NOTE
It is not recommended that any ADAT unit is set up to
be a word clock slave.
MIDI connections
Make these connections following the usual MIDI
standards
See “MIDI” on page 95 for details of how the DM-24
uses MIDI.
Also see “SYNC/TC” on page 23 for further details
of MTC operation.
SMPTE/EBU timecode connections
SMPTE/EBU analog timecode is received at the
TIME CODE IN connector on the rear panel
The timecode is needed when using the automated
mix functions.
Note that the DM-24 does not output analog time-
code, but can output MTC for use by other units.
See “SYNC/TC” on page 23 for details of setting up
the DM-24 to use the timecode.
Meter unit
The optional MU-24/DM meter unit may be con-
nected to the
TO METER connector.
Consult the documentation with the meter unit for
full details of installation and using the meters with
the DM-24.
P2 connections
Devices which implement the P2 protocol can be
controlled by the DM-24. See “Machine Control/Location” on page 80 for full
details of control of other devices using the DM-24.
