Connecting a Recorder for
Mixdowns
After you record and mix your sessions using
your 003 family interface, you may want to mix
them down to a DAT, or other stereo 2-track re-
cording device.
Connecting an Analog Deck
 Connect your recorder’s inputs to the Alt
Monitor Outputs (or any other output pair) on
the back of the family interface. These outputs
are 1/4-inch jacks. You may need adapter cables
if your mixdown deck has RCA inputs.
Connecting a Digital Deck
 If you have a DAT or other digital device that
can receive S/PDIF digital audio data, connect it
to the S/PDIF In and S/PDIF Out RCA jacks on
the back of the 003 family interface.
Connecting a Lightpipe-Compatible
Device (ADAT)
To connect a Lightpipe-compatible device (ADAT)
to your 003 family interface:
1 Connect the Optical output on the ADAT to
the Optical In port on the 003 family interface.
2 Connect the Optical input on the ADAT to the
Optical Out port on the 003 family interface.
MIDI Connections
The MIDI ports on 003 family interfaces let you
take advantage of all the MIDI features of
Pro Tools LE, including recording and editing
MIDI tracks.
If you need additional MIDI ports you can add a
compatible MIDI interface (such as a Digidesign
MIDI I/O).
To connect your MIDI device to your 003 family
interface:
1 Connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from the
MIDI Out port of your device to the MIDI In
port on the back panel of the 003 family inter-
face.
2 Connect another MIDI cable from the
MIDI In port of your device to one of the
MIDI Out ports on the back panel of the 003
family interface.
