Thank you for choosing Mackie Designs for your
hard disk recording solution. The OPT•24 is a major
step forward in our continued support of the
HDR24/96 and MDR24/96 Hard Disk Recorders.
The OPT•24 provides 24 channels (8x3) of 24-bit
ADAT optical I/O. But what makes it especially
unique and valuable is that it doesn’t use any of the
three I/O slots provided for the analog and digital
I/O cards. Instead, it is installed in a PCI slot next to
the Sync card. Once installed, you have the added
flexibility of choosing between at least two different
input and output formats for your recorded audio.
For example, you can use three analog AIO•8 cards
to bring the audio into the HDR, and use the
OPT•24 to output the audio in 24-bit digital format.
Installing the OPT•24
.
Important: The OPT•24
contains static-sensitive
components. Anti-static
precautions must be taken before
opening the anti-static bag and
handling the OPT•24. Use an
anti-static wrist strap when performing this installation.
These are available at most computer supply stores.
The use of an anti-static mat is also recommended.
1) Turn off the Hard Disk Recorder and remove
the AC linecord from the socket on the rear
panel. We don’t want this to be a shocking
experience for you!
2) Remove 22 screws from the HDR24/96 cover
using a #2 Phillips screwdriver (4 screws
from the top panel, 4 screws from each side,
and 10 screws from the rear panel). These
screws are all one size.
