on the recorder that says external clock or by setting a drop down menu option to receive sync from an external source or lightpipe.

In the event that you want to slave the DigiMAX LT to another device you would need to do two things. First, press the EXT CLOCK button on the front of the unit. Second, you would hook a BNC cable from the word clock output of the sending device to the word clock input on the back of the DigiMAX LT.

The DigiMAX LT can be used as an analog to digital converter. The setup for this application requires a TRS insert cable. This cable is Y-shaped, has a single TRS 1⁄4” jack on one end and two 1⁄4” TS jacks on the other end. The single end will look like a stereo 1⁄4” connector. This end of the cable plugs into the insert jack on the back of the DigiMAX LT. You would use the return end of the cable as the input cable. By plugging a device into the return cable, you would be entering the signal chain after the preamp. This would allow you to digitize a signal (such as a keyboard or CD player) without passing through the DigiMAX LT preamp.

The DigiMAX LT is not designed for direct use with record players - An RIAA (Recording Industry of America Association) phono preamplifier would have to be inserted in between the record player and the DigiMAX LT. If this RIAA phono preamplifier is not used then you would not hear an accurate representation of the recording.

The DigiMAX LT is designed for use with line level or low impedance inputs NOT instrument level inputs - The 1/4” inputs on the DigiMAX LT are lower imped- ance than our typical instrument inputs. In other words, if you were to plug a guitar into the DigiMAX LT directly, you probably wouldnít hear anything. Use of an impedance matching direct box will provide the correct impedance for instru- ments (ex: guitar, bass, etc.). However, you can plug microphones (dynamic or condenser), keyboards, samplers, drum machines, CD Players and etc. into the

DIGIMAX LT.
