This application shows how the 02R can be used with one Alesis ADAT and one Fostex RD-8 to create a 24-input, 16-track digital recording system. RD-8 is an ADAT compatible digital recorder made by Fostex. The 16 digital tape returns and 24 Mic/Line inputs provide up to 32 inputs at mixdown. In addition, the 02R's built-in automation and scene memory systems provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced to timecode.
[Connections]
The ADAT (CD8-AT) must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.
The Digital In/Out connectors on the 02R, ADAT, and RD-8 are connected together using Optical Cables. Press the DIGITAL IN buttons on the ADAT and RD-8 to use the DIGITAL INs.
The RD-8 is connected to Slot [1] of the 02R. These tape inputs correspond to tracks one through eight. The ADAT is connected to Slot [2] of the 02R. These tape inputs correspond to tracks nine through sixteen.
A 9-pin Sync cable for connecting the ADAT and RD-8 is available from Alesis or Fostex.
The RD-8 can output SMPTE timecode. In addition, a timecode offset can be specified, so the 02R automix start time can be adjusted.
The 75 ohm wordclock termination switch on the back of the 02R is set to ON.
[02R Wordclock Setup]
On the DIGITAL I/O menu, the wordclock source should be set to W.CLK.
[ADAT & RD-8 Wordclock Setup]
The RD-8 works as wordclock master and the ADAT locks to it automatically via the 9-pin sync cable. The sampling rate can be set to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz on the RD-8 menu.
[Notes]
Press the DIGITAL IN button on the ADAT to use the DIGITAL INPUT.
The ADAT must be powered up before the RD-8, because when the RD-8 is powered up it checks how many ADATs are connected, allocates them device numbers, and automatically sets the system word clock. RD-8 works as Control Master.
