002R S/PDIF and ADAT Question

[spicyitaliano]

Hey all. I'm away from my gear right now, so I don't have the oppertunity to try this out right now.

I'm planning on buying the Presonus Central Station. I want to take advantage of the digital inputs instead of using the analog inputs. Simultaneously, I need to have my Alesis AI-3 ADAT converter connected to my 002R.

So my question is this. Will I have the ability to monitor my mixes using the digital S/PDIF output of the 002R and still utilize the ADAT optical input on the 002R simultaneously?

If this won't work, then I suppose I'll have to use the analog outputs of the 002R to feed the Central Station.

Thanks,
Andy

I think as long as you have the s/pdif set to RCA, and the optical set to ADAT you should be ok. You just can't use s/pdif protocol in both the RCA and optical at the same time.

So you're saying -

As long as the S/PDIF input isn't set to ADAT, then it can work together at the same time? That is, my S/PDIF is going through the RCA inputs, and my AI-3 converter can feed the ADAT optical inputs? And this would work together simultaneously?

Yes.

Thanks so much to you guys for the quick replys! This setup is going to work great for my new system. Thanks! :banana:
