MIDI Connections
Connect the MIDI output of MotorMate to a MIDI input
port on your MIDI interface. Connect the MIDI output of
the same port to the MIDI input on MotorMate. Make a
note of the port number you used. If your MIDI interface
has MIDI activity indicators for its ports, rotate the
MotorMate Jog wheel, and you should see the MIDI input
activity light on the port connected to MotorMate. If this
does not happen, check your connection or cables.
RS-232 Port Connections (Optional)
Connect the RS-232 connector on MotorMate to either a
CM Labs SixtyFour Studio Router or an MP-8 Eight
Channel Mic Preamp. This allows MotorMate to control
all the features in those products.
Audio Connections
Monitor Interface Module (MIM)
Connect the Monitor Interface Module (or MIM for short)
to MotorMate using the 15 pin D-Sub cable supplied with
your MotorMate.
Connect your left and right workstation audio outputs to
the MIX Inputs on the MIM. Connect your 2 Track, CD
player Sound Card ,or other device to the Aux Inputs on
the MIM. The Mix and Aux inputs are added together
before being sent into the monitor controls on
MotorMate.
Installation and Connections
Page 6 CM Labs MotorMate Owner’s Manual
Connect both MIM Control Room (Speaker 1) outputs to
your main Control Room amp inputs. Connect both MIM
Studio outputs (Speaker 2) to your main Studio amp
inputs or to a second set of Control Room speakers, or
use these outputs to feed a headphone distribution
system. All the inputs and outputs are balanced, so we
recommend using TRS type cables for interconnect.
