M-300 System
Figure 3. M-300 System Diagram
The preceding V-Mixing system consists of two S-1608(s) (16 inputs x 2 and 8 outputs x 2), an S-4000D and
an M-300. The S-4000D splits REAC data from REAC A port of M-300 to an S-1608 and PC.
The two S-1608(s) must be configured as the SLAVE using the REAC MODE switches and the M-300 must
be configured as the FOH (MASTER) using the REAC Config option on the M-300. Please refer to the M-300
manual for more details.
The sample rate of the monitoring device must be set to the same sample rate as the M-300. You can check
the sample rate of the M-300 by following these steps:
1. Push the SYSTEM button.
2. On screen, look for SAMPLE FREQ that will tell you the sample rate of the M-300.
The REAC driver can receive up to 40 channels of audio data from the REAC Splitter between the REAC
Slave device and M-300. You can check the REAC A or REAC B audio source assignment on the M-300 LCD
by pressing the M-300 PATCHBAY button, followed by the OUTPUT button and finally the REAC A (or REAC
B) button. Please refer to the M-300 manual for more details.
Digital Audio Clock Synchronization is necessary to avoid monitoring problems, such as noises and gaps. To
synchronize the monitoring device with the REAC system when using the FA/SPS-66, simply connect the
digital output of the M-300 to the digital input of the FA/SPS-66 with an optical cable. When using the QUAD-
CAPTURE/OCTA-CAPTURE/VS-700R, you must use an Optical to COAX converter. Use an optical cable to
connect the digital output of the M-300 to the Optical input of the converter. Use a coaxial cable to connect the
COAX output of the converter to the digital input of the QUAD-CAPTURE/OCTA-CAPTURE/VS-700R.
Note: You can also insert the S-4000D between the S-1608 and REAC B port. In this case, you can
record audio data of REAC B into SONAR.
