Mackie Digital 8Bus D8B v5.1 User Manual

This section shows how the D8B is connected

to the Mackie HDR24/96. These examples assume
that the rest of your studio equipment (monitors,
sound sources, outboard processing, etc.) is
already connected.

Before you begin, note how the three eight-

channel I/O cards are arranged on the HDR24/96
rear panel: 1-8 is on the left, 9-16 is in the center,
and 17-24 is on the right. Labeling cables before
you begin will make connecting the HDR24/96 to
your D8B easier.

The specific hookups for each D8B and

HDR24/96 I/O card are shown below.

1.  Connect three snakes between the

HDR24/96 Inputs (bottom connector)
and the corresponding D8B Tape
Outputs (top connector).

2.  Connect three snakes between the

HDR24/96 Outputs (top connector)
and the corresponding D8B Tape
Inputs (bottom connector).

1.  Set the Sample Clock to Internal.
2.  Set the Sample Rate and Bit Depth

according to your preference. It is not
necessary to set the D8B and
HDR24/96 to the same Sample Rate
since, with analog connections, the
sample clocks on the two units are not
synchronized.

1.  Set the D8B Sample Rate to 44.1kHz

or 48kHz, and set the Apogee Clock
to Internal (in the Digital I/O Setup
window).
