Hookup Diagrams

One of the primary applications for the X.200 is multitrack recording. This involves tracking and monitoring, bouncing, overdubbing, and mixdown. A typical application might involve 24 inputs for tracking and 24 outputs to a multitrack recorder or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). In this case, you might have three MIC/LINE 4 CARDS installed in slots 1-3 (A•SLOTS) for 24 analog inputs, and three DIGITAL CARDS installed in slots 4-6 (B•SLOTS) for 24 digital outputs. By assigning the Output Source for the 24 digital outputs to Channels 1-24, you can record each input channel to an individual track on the multitrack recorder.

The hookup diagrams in this section demonstrate how the connections are made with the Digital X Bus X.200 for tracking and mixdown, mixdown to surround sound, and using a DAW.
