Connect fiber optic (lightpipe) cables between the ADAT&#8217;s DIGITAL IN and the DIO-8 card&#8217;s<br \/>ADAT OPTICAL OUT, and between the ADAT&#8217;s DIGITAL OUT and the DIO-8 card&#8217;s ADAT<br \/>OPTICAL IN.<\/p>\n<p>2. Connect a BNC cable from the Clock I\/O card&#8217;s WORD CLOCK OUT connector to the 48 KHz IN connector on the BRC.<br \/>    Note: It is necessary to terminate this connection with a 50 ohm termination at the BRC end of the cable. You will need a BNC &#8220;T&#8221; connector (Radio Shack part number 278-112; male-female-female configuration) and a 50 ohm BNC terminator (Radio Shack part number 278-270). Con-nect the &#8220;T&#8221; connector to the 48 KHz IN jack on the BRC. Then connect the BNC cable from the DIO-8 card to one side of the &#8220;T&#8221; and connect the 50 ohm terminator to the other side of the &#8220;T.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3. Connect the 9-pin D-sub sync cables between the BRC (REMOTE OUT TO ADAT) and the first ADAT&#8217;s SYNC IN connector. Then connect the sync cables in a daisy-chain fashion between the remaining ADATs.<\/p>\n<p>4. Connect MIDI cables between the MIDI OUT connector on the Digital 8-Bus&#8217; Remote CPU and the MIDI IN connector on the BRC, and between the MIDI IN connector on the Digital 8-Bus&#8217; Remote CPU and the MIDI OUT connector on the BRC.<\/p>\n<p>Settings:<br \/>D8B<br \/>1. Click the &#8220;Setup&#8221; button in the bottom menu bar of the SVGA monitor to open the General<br \/>Setup window.<br \/>2. Click the &#8220;Digital&#8221; icon on the left side of the window to open the Digital I\/O dialog box.<br \/>3. Click each Tape Input and Output box and select ADAT for each DIO-8 card installed.<br \/>ADATs<br \/>1. On the front panel of the ADAT, select DIGITAL IN.<br \/>BRC<br \/>1. Set the External Sync parameters to the following:<br \/>a) Press the EDIT button.<br \/>b) Set the Clock Source to &#8220;48KHz Input.&#8221;<br \/>b) Set the Locate Reference to &#8220;Internal.&#8221;<br \/>c) Press the EDIT button to exit the &#8220;Edit External Sync&#8221; page.<br \/>Make sure the EXT SYNC button is still lit.<br \/>2. Press the EDIT button and the GEN SYNC button twice to bring up the MIDI page.<br \/>Set the parameter to MTC. Press the EDIT button to exit out of the &#8220;Edit Generate Sync&#8221; page.<br \/>Leave the GENERATE SYNC button lit.<br \/>Other Notes<br \/>1. You must turn on the Digital 8-Bus first, then turn on the ADATs.<br \/>2. Make sure the DIGITAL I\/O button on the BRC is not lit.<br \/>3. Under the MIDI\/UTIL button on the BRC, make sure #1 MIDI Echo is off and #8 Output Rew\/FF is off. This is so the faders don&#8217;t run at high speed when shuttling around on your ADATs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[33925,34185],"storecat":[],"itemids":[20979],"manufacturers":[33168,33516],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Hooking up the Digital 8 page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/hooking-up-digital-8bus-brc-adat-digitalmultitrack-recorders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hooking up the Digital 8 - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Cabling and Hookup1.
