Connections

2.Connect the stereo/TRS end to the INSERT jack of channel 1 of the Multimix 12R.

3.Connect the mono plug from the tip connector to the input of the ADAT. NOTE: the ADAT’s tracks are arranged from left to right on the back panel, and the mixer’s channels are from right to left, so the wires will have to cross over.

4.Connect the mono plug from the ring connector to the output of the ADAT.

If you're not sure which mono plug is from the tip and which is from the ring, check to see if the cable box has that information. If not, simply try it one way and play a prerecorded tape from the ADAT. If you can't hear output from the mixer with the faders and master up, swap the input and output plugs the other way.

5.Plug in channels 2-8 of the mixer to tracks 2-8 of the ADAT in the same way.

Using two Multimix 12Rs for more flexibility:

The in-line method may be used for recording one source to a track. But if you want to record a mix of microphones or other sources onto a pair of tracks, two Multimix 12Rs can do the job more quietly and in a smaller space than expensive dedicated recording consoles. One 12R is the "source" mixer which feeds the ADAT's inputs, and the other is the "monitor/mixdown" mixer which receives the ADAT's outputs.

1.Plug the -10 dBV MAIN OUT jacks of the "source" 12R to track inputs 1 and 2 of the ADAT.
