15.1 Options for the DA-98

You can purchase a number of options through your TASCAM dealer.

15.1.1 RM-98 Rack Mount Adaptor

The RM-98 Rack Mount Adaptor consists of a pair of rack handles which can be fitted to the DA- 98 to help with removing it from the rack for transportation, etc.

To fit these handles, you must first remove the rack mounting ears fitted to the DA-98 as shipped, and attach the handles as shown in the illustration below.

Accuride strips are fitted as shown below:

Make sure that all screws and bolts are securely tightened before replacing the DA-98 in the rack.

15.1.2 Remote control (RC-848)

The RC-848 Multi-unit Remote Controller can be used with the DA-98 as well as the DA-88 and DA-38 DTRS recorders. However, note that not all functions of the DA-98 can be used with the RC-848.

The RC-848 can be rack-mounted using the RM- 8824, or placed on a roll-around stand (CS-848).

If a longer cable is required, the 10 meter (30 ft.) PW-848L can be used.

The RC-848 can also be connected to units with an ACCESSORY-2 connector. For these purposes, the PW88-AC2 cable is required.

The DA-98 is also fitted with screw holes in the case which allow you to fit Accuride®1 200 series guide rails (18” or 20”) which also help with removing and replacing the DA-98 from and to rack installations.

•If an RC-848controller is used, it should be connected to the DA-98’s REMOTE IN/SYNC IN connector [43].

•Up to 6 DTRS units can be controlled using one RC-848 controller.

•The first DA-98 or DA-38 unit in the chain should be given Machine ID 1 (ID 0 for DA-88 units), even if an RC-848 is used.

•The last DTRS unit in the chain (even if it is the only one) must be terminated at the SYNC OUT connector [44] using a TASCAM terminator.
