Hardware Setup: Using C.A.S.T.
This hardware setup diagram will get Camden EC2 connected within a C.A.S.T. enabled system
alongside a 500R8/500ADAT and N22/N22H breakout box:
1. Connect mains power into the external PSU supplied in Camden EC2’s packaging and
connect the Power Connector into Camden EC2’s Power Inlet [11].
2. Connect Camden EC2’s C.A.S.T. Output [9] to a C.A.S.T. Input on 500R8/500ADAT using a
shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 cable.
3. Connect N22 or N22H’s C.A.S.T. Output to Camden EC2’s C.A.S.T. Input [1] using a
shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 cable.
4. Power On Camden EC2, followed by 500R8/500ADAT and other downstream
equipment.
5. On Camden EC2, set the rear panel source switches for Preamp channels [2] into its
down position to enable the C.A.S.T. Input connection to be fed into it’s preamp
Now, connect Mic/Line sources to either of N22’s inputs, apply Gain and your desired Mojo
setting on Camden EC2, and now the preamp signal will be sent out from Camden EC2 and
directly into 500R8’s slots ready for further processing and recording.
At the same time, the Aux Mix created on 500R8/500ADAT is sent down C.A.S.T., into Camden
EC2 and into the connected N22/N22H. The Aux mix can also be monitored using Camden
EC2’s Aux 1/Aux 2 Headphone outputs as well as the connected N22/N22H.
