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 RD-8s 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 RD-8s,
or the 328XD’s 8 Group outputs.
Synchronization Settings
Besides the audio connections, a BNC wordclock cable must be connected from the Master RD-8
Wordclock ut to the 328XD Wordclock Input in order 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 Master RD-8 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 the RD-8s and 328XD. In the following diagram only the SMPTE / LTC cable is optional.
If 2 RD-8s are synchronized, the wordclock MUST be generated by the Master RD-8. If only 1
RD-8 is used, it can be set to receive wordclock generated by the 328XD.
