MODES OF OPERATION
ADC
DIGITAL SIGNAL
(FIREWIRE OR ADAT)
PRESS DIG RETURN = PRE-INSERT
ANALOGUE MIX
The analogue signal from the pre-amp is sent to FireWire or ADAT.
Could be used for overdubbing the recorded track.
DAC
ANALOGUE MIXDOWN FROM DIGITAL SOURCE
Here, the digital inputs to the channels are selected to go to the channel just before the insert point (replacing the
signal from the pre-amp). This mode allows for analogue mixing from a multi-track digital source using the simply
gorgeous analogue EQ on the ZED-R16.
It is also a great mode to use when overdubbing tracks, using the digital inputs for monitor & foldback purposes
whilst using the PRE-INSert digital send to do the overdub recording.
Play the multitrack from the DAW or an ADAT
machine to the ZED-R16 and mix in analogue
as you would do with a traditional 16 track
tape machine.
Digital input from FireWire
or ADAT is converted to
analogue and sent to the
channel path after the EQ.
This replaces the signal
from the pre-amp.
