Getting Started with Digi 00248
Using External Effects
Devices
The Digi 002 can make dedicated connections
to external analog or digital devices. You can
send and return signals to analog devices using
the analog inputs and outputs on the Digi 002.
You can also send and return a digital signal to
an external device that supports digital I/O
(such as a reverb unit), and monitor the return
by connecting its analog outputs to available in-
puts on Digi 002.
When you use the digital inputs and outputs on
your Pro Tools LE system as effects sends and re-
turns to a digital effects device, Pro Tools LE
should be the clock master in most cases. Set
your digital effects device to accept an external
digital clock so that it synchronizes to
Pro Tools LE.
To connect an external analog device to your
system:
1 Connect each input of the external signal pro-
cessor to an available analog output on the
Digi 002.
2 Connect each output of the external signal
processor to an available analog input on the
Digi 002.
To set up a send to an external digital effects
device (digital sends/returns only):
1 Connect the digital inputs and outputs of the
external signal processor to the appropriate dig-
ital connectors (the S/PDIF RCA connectors or
the Optical ports) on Digi 002.
2 In Pro Tools, choose Setups > Hardware Setup.
3 Under Digital Input, select one of the follow-
ing options:
• If the external effects device is connected to
the S/PDIF RCA jacks, select “RCA = S/PDIF.”
• If the external effects device is a S/PDIF device
and connected to the Optical ports, select
“Optical = S/PDIF.”
• If the external effects device is an ADAT Opti-
cal compatible device, select
“Optical = ADAT.”
4 Choose Internal from the Clock Source pop-
up menu.
5 Click OK.
Monitoring and Recording
from Alternate Sources
Digi 002 provides a pair of additional inputs for
monitoring and recording from an external
sound source such as a CD player or tape deck.
This alternate input is equipped with standard
RCA connectors and is designed for input sig-
nals with a nominal operating level of –10 dBV.
If you plan to use the external device as an
Insert in Pro Tools, connect it to inputs and
outputs of the same number (for example,
Input 5 and Output 5) of Digi 002.
You can use the I/O Setup dialog (Setups >
I/O Setup) to label the inputs and outputs
you are using in Pro Tools LE and identify
them as inserts or sends when working in a
session. Refer to the Pro Tools Reference
Guide for details.
