CONNECTING THE SYSTEM

Audio Connections

Connect audio connections as shown in the diagram below. ADAT Optical cables must be connected from
the ADAT Out ports of both the ADATs to the ADAT In ports of the 328XD and vice versa.

The ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct outputs for input channels 1-16 to the ADATs,
or the 328XD’s 8 Group outputs.

Synchronization Connections

Besides the audio connections, a BNC Wordclock cable must be connected from the 328XD Wordclock
Out to the BRC 48kHz input to synchronize the transmission of the samples.

NOTE:

It must be decided whether MIDI Time Code (MTC) or Longitudinal Timecode (LTC or SMPTE) is
to be used to transmit the timecode from the BRC to the 328XD. If LTC is to be used, MIDI
connections must still be made, in order to enable the transmission of MIDI Machine Control
(MMC). MMC is responsible for the transmission of the Transport and Locate Controls between
BRC and 328XD.
