Cascading the 03D
The CD8-CS Cascade Kit allows two 03Ds to work together as one 32-input mixing 
console, with both 03Ds sharing a common bus system (inputs 17–24 are not available 
when a cascade card is installed). The 03D can also be cascaded with the Yamaha 02R 
Digital Recording Console, which is an 8-bus console. The CD8-CS Cascade Kit con-
tains two cards and one cable. This is all that is required to cascade two 03Ds or a 03D 
and 02R together.
When two consoles are cascaded together, one acts as master, the other as a slave. The 
IN/OUT switch on the CD8-CS card installed in the slave console is set to OUT. On the 
master console this switch is set to IN. 
When a CD8-CS Cascade card is installed in the 03D, the cascade signal sources are 
selected automatically, and are not affected by the YGDAI OUTPUT ASSIGN settings 
on the D.out Setup page. The cascade signal configurations are explained in the follow-
ing table.
Cascade settings on the master console are made on the Cascade page, which is available 
only when a CD8-CS Cascade card is installed, and the IN/OUT switch on that card is 
set to IN. There are no configuration settings for the slave console.
1. Use the [DIO] button to locate the Cascade page shown below.
Note:   Turn off the 03D before setting CD8-CS IN/OUT switches.
Signal
Cascade Configuration
Bus
The Bus buses of both consoles are connected directly. The bus out signal levels 
are controlled using the bus out faders on the master console. Bus out faders on 
the slave console are essentially redundant.
Aux
The Aux buses of both consoles are connected directly. The aux send signal levels 
are controlled using the aux send faders on the master console. Aux send master 
faders on the slave console are essentially redundant.
Effects
The Effects buses of the slave and master consoles are not connected. This means 
that the onboard effects processors of both consoles can be used independently 
to process signals of the respective console.
Stereo
The Stereo buses of both consoles are connected directly. The stereo output sig-
nal level is controlled using the ST OUT fader on the master console. Two-track 
mastering and monitoring equipment should be connected to the master con-
sole. The ST OUT fader on the slave console is essentially redundant.
Solo
The Solo buses of both consoles are connected directly. Solo mode is engaged 
using the [SOLO] button on the master console. The [SOLO] button on the slave 
console is essentially redundant. Solo Status settings must be made on the mas-
ter console. Listen, Sel mode, and safe channel settings are made on the respec-
tive console.
