AX16-AT—Owner’s Manual
4 Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha AX16-AT Audio Expansion Card. The AX16-AT is an ADAT format digital interface card for the Yamaha DS2416 Digital Mixing Card. Two ADAT MultiChannel Optical Digital inputs and two outputs mean that up to 16 channels of ADAT format digital audio can be transferred simultaneously between the DS2416 and an ADAT multitrack recorder, or other ADAT-compatible device, such as a Yamaha 02R, 03D, or 01V digital mixing console with an ADAT I/O card installed.
System Requirements
•DS2416-compatible computer with a free PCI or ISA-bus slot
•Yamaha DS2416 Digital Mixing Card
•DS2416-compatible audio software
PCI or ISA?
The AX16-AT is set for installation in a PCI-bus slot, but can also be installed in an ISA slot simply by swapping the supplied mounting bracket. Since DS2416-compatible Apple Power Macintosh computers do not support ISA bus, the AX16-AT must be used in a PCI slot with Power Macs. On DS2416-compatible Windows computers, however, the AX16-AT can be used in either a PCI or ISA-bus slot, which means that even if all your PCI slots are taken and the only free slots are ISA, you can still install the AX16-AT.
Important: If you are using the DS2416 and AX16-AT in a Windows 95 or Windows 98 computer, be sure to use DS2416 driver version V103 or later. The latest driver software is available for free download from the Yamaha Professional Audio Web site. <http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/proaudio/homeenglish/>
DS2416 driver version V102 or earlier does not support the AX16-AT ADAT/THRU switch. However, it can be made to recognize the switch by relaunching the DS2416-supporting audio software.
Important: When the DS2416’s internal Vari Pitch mode is used, the wordclock, or sampling rate changes accordingly and some devices connected to the AX16-AT for use as wordclock slaves may not be able to synchronize correctly. However, they may synchronize correctly at certain settings (resultant sampling rates), but not others.

A HALF/FULL switches
These switches are used to configure wordclock operation when the DS2416 is used as a wordclock slave and receives its wordclock from the AX16-AT. IO- A and IO-B can be set individually. In the FULL position, the DS2416 derives its wordclock from the source selected using the ADAT/THRU switches.
Normally, these switches should be set to HALF, the default setting, in which case the DS2416’s wordclock source is always an ADAT IN connector regardless of the ADAT/THRU switch settings. This is convenient when switching between the ADAT and THRU (AX44 or other device) connectors, because you don’t have to change the wordclock settings.
When an external device connected to the A IN connector is used as the wordclock master, that device must be turned on and configured correctly for wordclock master operation. If, for some reason, the external wordclock is lost, the THRU connectors are checked for a usable wordclock, and if one is not found there either, the DS2416 stops functioning.
(To use an external device as the wordclock master, you must connect it to the A IN connector.)
B IO-A connector
This connector connects to the IO-A connector on the DS2416 using the supplied 20-pin connection cable.

When using an ADAT, set the corresponding ADAT/THRU switch (A or B) to ADAT. To use an AX44, set the switch to THRU.
In the system shown here, the DS2416, ADAT-A, or ADAT-B could be used as the wordclock master. (Supporting software is required to set the wordclock.)
If an ADAT recorder is used as the wordclock master, turn on the ADAT first, set its wordclock, and then set the DS2416 wordclock.

Fitting the ISA-bus Mounting Bracket
Before installing the AX16-AT into an ISA-bus slot, you must replace the PCI-bus mounting bracket with the ISA-bus mounting bracket.
To prevent static electricity from damaging the AX16-AT, touch a grounded metal part of your computer, such as the power supply case, before handling it.
1Remove the two fixing screws that secure the PCI-bus mounting bracket to the AX16-AT card and carefully remove the mounting bracket.
2Carefully fit the ISA-bus mounting bracket and secure using the two screws removed previously.
AX16-AT—Owner’s Manual
Selecting the I/O Source for the DS2416 11
Selecting the I/O Source for the DS2416
The ADAT/THRU switches select the input and output sources for the IO-A and IO-B connectors on the DS2416. In the ADAT position, the DS2416 receives and transmits signals via the ADAT IN and OUT connectors on the AX16-AT, as shown in the following diagram. In the THRU position, the DS2416 receives and transmits signals via the AX44s. IO-A and IO-B can be switched independently.
The lines from the DS2416 are labeled “4 or 8” because they carry four audio channel when set to THRU (i.e., AX44) and eight channels when set to ADAT.

AX16-AT—Mode d’emploi
4 Introduction
Introduction
Nous vous remercions d’avoir opté pour la carte d’expansion audio AX16-AT de Yamaha. L’AX16-AT est une interface numérique de format ADAT pour la carte de mélangeur numérique DS2416 de Yamaha. Avec ses deux entrées et sorties ADAT MultiChannel Optical Digital, il est possible de transférer des données audio numériques de format ADAT sur 16 canaux entre la DS2416 et un enregistreur multipiste ADAT ou tout autre appareil ADAT tel qu’une console de mixage 02R, 03D ou 01V de Yamaha, dotée d’une carte ADAT I/O.
Système requis
•Ordinateur compatible avec la DS2416 disposant d’un bus PCI ou ISA libre.
•Carte de mélangeur numérique Yamaha DS2416
•Logiciel audio compatible avec la DS2416
PCI ou ISA?
L’AX16-AT a été conçue pour une installation dans un connecteur PCI mais peut également être placée dans un connecteur ISA. Il suffit d’échanger les fixations et d’utiliser la fixation ISA prévue à cet effet. Comme les ordinateurs Apple Macintosh compatibles avec la DS2416 ne comportent pas de bus ISA, l’AX16-AT doit donc impérativement être installée dans un emplacement PCI sur les Power Macs. Si vous vous servez d’un ordinateur Windows compatible avec la DS2416, vous avez le choix entre un connecteur PCI ou ISA. Si tous les bus PCI sont occupés, vous pouvez toujours installer l’AX16-AT pour autant qu’il vous reste un bus ISA de libre.
Important: Si vous utilisez la DS2416 et l’AX16-AT sur un ordinateur tournant sous Windows 95 ou 98, veillez à vous servir de la version V103 ou ultérieure du pilote de la DS2416. La version la plus récente du pilote est téléchargeable gratuitement à partir du site Yamaha Professional Audio. <http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/proaudio/homeenglish/>
La version V102, voire une version antérieure du pilote pour la DS2416, ne permet pas l’utilisation du commutateur ADAT/THRU. Il n’empêche que vous pouvez faire le nécessaire pour qu’il le reconnaisse en relançant le logiciel audio compatible avec la DS2416.
Important: Lors de l’utilisation du mode Vari Pitch de la DS2416, la fréquence d’échantillonnage ainsi que les données Wordclock changent aussi. Dans ce cas, certains appareils connectés à l’AX16-AT (en tant qu’esclaves Wordclock) risquent de ne plus pouvoir être synchronisés. Certains réglages (produisant des fréquences d’échantillonnage reconnues) peuvent cependant donner le résultat escompté.

A A IN
Les signaux arrivant à cette entrée ADAT MultiChannel Optical Digital sont envoyés au connecteur IO-A de cette carte.
B A OUT
Les signaux venant des sorties IO de la carte DS2416 sont produits via cette sortie ADAT MultiChannel Optical Digital.
C Commutateurs A & B ADAT/THRU
Ces commutateurs vous permettent de sélectionner les signaux d’entrée et de sortie pour les connecteurs IO-A et IO-B de cette carte. Ce réglage peut être effectué indépendamment pour IO-A et IO-B. Si vous optez pour “ADAT”, l’entrée et la sortie correspondante (A ou B) de la DS2416 est reliée aux bornes A IN/OUT ou B IN/OUT. L’option “THRU” signifie que la DS2416 est reliée au connecteur THRU A ou THRU B de l’AX16-AT.
D B IN
Les signaux arrivant à cette entrée ADAT MultiChannel Optical Digital sont envoyés au connecteur IO-B de cette carte.
E B OUT
Les signaux venant des sorties IO de la carte DS2416 sont produits via cette sortie ADAT MultiChannel Optical Digital.
Remarque: Si les prises des câbles optiques utilisés sont trop larges en n’entrent dès lors pas tout à fait dans la fente d’extension en face arrière de votre ordinateur, il est fort probable que la connexion aux bornes ADAT ne se fasse pas ou pas entièrement.

A Commutateurs HALF/FULL
Ces commutateurs permettent de régler des paramètres Wordclock lorsque la DS2416 est asservie à l’horloge Wordclock de l’AX16-AT. IO-A et IO-B peuvent être réglés séparément. En position “FULL”, la DS2416 tire son signal Wordclock de la source sélectionnée avec les commutateurs ADAT/THRU.
Normalement, ces commutateurs doivent être réglés sur “HALF” (réglage d’usine) car, ainsi, la DS2416 utilise toujours le signal Wordclock présent à la borne ADAT IN, quel que soit le réglage des commutateurs ADAT/THRU. Cela vous permet de commuter entre des connecteurs ADAT et THRU (AX44 ou d’autres appareils) car vous ne devez pas chaque fois modifier le réglage Wordclock.
Si un appareil branché à la borne A IN sert de maître Wordclock, cet appareil doit être mis sous tension et configuré correctement pour fonctionner en tant que maître Wordclock. Si, pour une raison ou une autre, la source Wordclock externe est perdue, les bornes THRU sont passées en revue à la recherche d’un signal Wordclock utilisable. S’il n’y en a pas, la DS2416 est désactivée.
(Pour pouvoir utiliser un appareil externe comme maître Wordclock, il faut impérativement le brancher à la borne A IN.)
B Connecteur IO-A
Ce connecteur peut être relié au connecteur IO-A de la DS2416 avec le câble de connexion à 20 broches fourni.
