DS2416—Owner’s Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha DS2416 Digital Mixing Card. With
8-track simultaneous recording, 16-track simultaneous playback, 24-channel
mixing, 4-band parametric EQ, effects, and dynamics, the DS2416 provides a
complete digital recording studio inside a regular personal computer. Unlike
other audio cards, the DS2416’s five DSPs take the load off the computer’s
main processor leaving it free to concentrate on timing and other tasks while
the DS2416 takes care of high-quality effects, EQ, and dynamics processing.
In some cases, the DS2416’s onboard processing powerhouse may allow audio
software to record and playback a greater number of tracks.

For ease of installation and high data throughput, the DS2416 uses the indus­try-standard PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus. Sound cards can
be connected digitally, or two DS2416 cards can be digitally cascaded for
48-channel mixing, each providing 2-channel analog inputs and outputs,
with 20-bit 128-times oversampling A/D converters and 20-bit 8-times over­sampling D/A converters, and stereo coaxial digital input and output. Inputs
and outputs can be expanded using the optional AX44 Audio Expansion Unit,
which offers four 1/4-inch analog inputs—two of which can be used with
microphones—four 1/4-inch analog outputs and a stereo headphone jack.
Two AX44s can be used with each DS2416 card for eight analog inputs and
outputs.

Introduction

System Requirements

• IBM PC compatible PCI bus Windows 95 computer

• DS2416-compatible audio software

System Notes

The DS2416 can be used in any IBM PC-compatible PCI bus personal com­puter running Windows 95. The DS2416 requires a single 5 V PCI expansion
bus slot, and cannot be used in 3.3 V PCI slots. It’s compliant with PCI ver­sion 2.1, requires one IRQ (interrupt request), but no DMA (Direct Memory
Access). Since it’s a PCI card, IRQ settings are made automatically. PCI bus
speeds greater than 33 MHz are not supported.

Processor type, memory, and hard disk requirements are dependent on the
controlling software, not the DS2416. The supplied device driver requires a
few hundred kilobytes of disk space. Although the DS2416 supports 8-track
simultaneous recording and 16-track simultaneous playback, actual perfor­mance will depend on the capabilities of your computer and audio software.

Compatible Software

Any software that supports Windows MME (Multimedia Extensions), includ­ing the Windows 95 Media Player accessory, can be used with the DS2416 for
recording and playback. To use the mixing functions, however, requires soft­ware that supports the DS2416 mixer. As of April 1998, the following software
companies are developing, or have already released software for the DS2416.

Audio software that doesn’t support all the features of the DS2416 can still use
a basic feature set. However, input and output patching is fixed, as shown in
the “Fixed Patchbay Diagram” on page 25. The Windows 95 Volume Control
can be used to set the stereo master fader and mute, and the level meters dis­play the recording levels.

Wordclocks

Wordclocks

Unlike analog audio equipment, digital audio equipment must be synchro­nized when digital audio is transferred from one device to another, otherwise,
the digital audio might not be read correctly and audible noise, glitches, or
clicks may occur. Synchronization is achieved using what’s called a wordclock,
which is a clock signal for synchronizing all the digital audio words in an
audio system. Note that wordclocks are not the same as SMPTE or MIDI
timecode, which are used to synchronize audio recorders, MIDI sequencers,
and so on. Wordclock synchronization refers to the synchronization of the
digital audio processing circuits inside each digital audio device.

In a typical digital audio system, one device acts as the wordclock master and
the other devices act as wordclock slaves, synchronizing to the wordclock
master. If the DS2416 is the only digital audio device in your system, no spe­cial wordclock settings are required, as the DS2416 synchronizes to its own
internal wordclock. Add a DAT recorder or digital multitrack recorder, how­ever, and you must decide which device to use as wordclock master and which
devices to use as slaves. Even when you’ve done this and configured your sys­tem, it may sometimes be necessary to change the wordclock settings, such as
when recording from a DAT or CD player.

Wordclocks run at the same frequency as the sampling rate. The DS2416 gen­erates its own wordclock at 44.1 kHz (the industry-standard sampling rate for
music CDs) or 48 kHz and can be used as wordclock master. Alternatively, it
can be used as a wordclock slave synchronized to an external wordclock of
between 30.08 kHz and 50.88 kHz (32 kHz –6% to 48 kHz +6%). Converting
the sampling rate of digital audio is a complicated process, so it’s best to use
the 44.1 kHz sampling rate, especially if your work is destined for CD distri­bution.

Wordclock signals can be distributed via dedicated cables or derived from
standard digital audio connections, such as the D IN and D OUT connections
on the DS2416. With Coaxial digital audio connections, a wordclock signal is
transmitted even when no audio signal is present. The DS2416 can also trans­mit and receive wordclock signals via its SI, SO, IO-A, and IO-B connectors.

In a system where all devices share a common wordclock, it’s important that
all devices be turned on even when they’re not being used. Turn on the word­clock master first, and then the slaves. When shutting down the system, turn
off the slaves first, and then the master. Before commencing with a recording
session, make sure that all wordclock slaves are synchronized to the master.
Some devices have front panel indicators to show when they are wordclock
synchronized. Refer to the instructions for each device.

Recording Digitally to DAT

In this example, the D OUT connector on the DS2416 is connected to the dig­ital input of a DAT recorder for digital mixdown recording. The DS2416
works as wordclock master and the DAT works as wordclock slave. When the
digital input on the DAT recorder is selected as the recording source, the DAT
should automatically synchronize to the wordclock signal coming from the
DS2416. On some DAT recorders, the wordclock source may have to be set
separately. Refer to the instructions supplied with your DAT recorder.
