Chapter 2: Connecting Your Studio 23
Setup F: Connecting Pro Tools
to an ADAT-Compatible Digital
Mixing Console
A final use for your Pro Tools/ADAT system
is as an affordable means to connect with
an ADAT-compatible, ADAT lightpipe-
equipped digital mixing console such as
the Yamaha 02R, Ramsa DA7 and others.
To connect the ADAT Bridge I/O to a ADAT-
compatible digital mixing console:
1 Follow the basic setup instructions previ-
ously given in Setup A, but instead of mak-
ing connections to an ADAT:
2 Connect a fiber optical cable from Opti-
cal #1 Out on the ADAT Bridge I/O to opti-
cal input #1 on the digital mixing console.
3 Connect a fiber optical cable from optical
output #1 on the digital mixing console to
Optical #1 In on the ADAT Bridge I/O.
4 Connect a fiber optical cable from Opti-
cal #2 Out on the ADAT Bridge I/O to opti-
cal input #2 on the digital mixing console.
5 Connect a fiber optical cable from optical
output #2 on the digital mixing console to
Optical #2 In on the ADAT Bridge I/O.
6 If your digital console has the ability to
lock to the word clock signal carried over
these optical connections, connect the
word clock out of the ADAT Bridge I/O to
the word clock in of the digital console.
This is necessary for both systems to be able
to synchronize to the same master clock
reference.
☞ Refer to the documentation that came with
your digital console for additional installation
and operational information.
