TASCAM SX-1

Reference Manual

same signal directly out, unaffected by any of the
SX-1’s electronics.
The Sony 9-pin connector (also known as P2) is used
for connecting to devices that adhere to that protocol.
See “P2 Remote Machine Control in the SX-1” on
page 34
for more information on connecting P2
devices.

6 CASCADE

This connector will be used in a

future release to allow a TASCAM DM-24 console
to act as a “sidecar” for the SX-1.

7 ADAT I/O

These connectors carry eight chan-

nels of digital audio in a format commonly referred
to as ADAT lightpipe. The 9-pin D-sub connector is
used for sync/control with an ADAT-style device.

8 FOOTSWITCH

Connect a momentary-style

pedal here for remote control of recording (punching
in or out). The polarity (that is, whether the pedal is
normally open or normally closed) of the pedal is set
on the LCD

screen.

9 TIME CODE IN

Connect the LTC (Longitudi-

nal Time Code, often referred to as SMPTE) output
of a device to this input. The SX-1 can chase this
incoming code.

A WORD IN/OUT/THRU

These jacks send

and receive word clock signals. The

THRU

connector

takes the signal received at the

IN

and sends out an

exact mirror, untouched by the SX-1’s electronics.

B LTC OUT

This jack allows the SX-1 to output

LTC (or SMPTE). The frame rate is determined on
the

SETTINGS

pages.

C DIGITAL I/O (SPDIF) 1 and 2

These jacks

send and receive digital audio in S/PDIF or AES/
EBU format (automatically detected for input,
switchable for output). They can be directly moni-
tored in the monitoring sections by selecting either

D-IN 1

or

D-IN 2

.

D Expansion slots

The SX-1 can have its

available I/O expanded by the addition of 8-channel
expansion cards in these slots. These cards are the
same as those used in the TASCAM DM-24 console.
