TDIF 3 or ADAT
Once the preferred “return” interfaces have been selected, they can be assigned
to channels 1-24 in groups of eight. For instance:
Slot 1 to channels 17-24
TDIF 2 to channels 1-8
ADAT to channels 9-16
OPTIONS
• IF-TD/DM (TDIF I/O) $249 (supported in version 2.0)
• IF-AD/DM (ADAT lightpipe I/O w/ ADAT Sync (ADAT sync will be
supported in future frimware.) $249
• IF-AE/DM (AES/EBU I/O on a D-25 connection) $299
• IF-AN/DM (Analog I/O on two D-25 connections) $499
• IF-CS/DM (Cascade card w/ cascade cable) $299
• MU-24 (Meter bridge plus cable) $949
• Each of the optional interface cards has 8 channels of I/O.
• The IF-TD/DM TDIF option card will be supported with version 2.0. This
card does NOT add 8 TDIF inputs. The DM-24 only supports 24 channels
of digital “RETURNS.” When mixing 24 channels of TDIF “RETURNS” in
5.1 surround, the IF-TD/DM can be used to send the 6 buss outputs to a
TDIF stem recorder like a DTRS machine. This is the only use for this
card with a DM-24. The IF-TD/DM is also compatible with the TASCAM
SX-1 and future TASCAM products.
• Mixing 24 tracks of ADAT or any other lightpipe device requires two
optional IF-AD/DM ADAT I/O cards. The IF-AD/DM does NOT support
96kHz. ADAT sync is not yet functional and will be supported in a future
version of firmware.
• Adding two IF-AE/DM AES/EBU cards provides a total of 20 channels of
AES/EBU I/O (four channels come standard on the DM-24.) The IF-
AE/DM AES/EBU card supports 4 channels of DUAL LINE or HI SPEED
I/O.
• Two IF-AN/DM analog cards are necessary if 32 channels of analog input
are required. This configuration requires specific settings on the DM-24.
Assign SLOT 1 to channels 1-8, SLOT 2 to channels 9-16, Mic/Line inputs
1-8 to channels 17-24 and Mic/Line inputs 9-16 to channels 25-32. Many
people use the DM-24 as a live mixer this way. You can also use this
analog I/O for aux sends and returns, leaving your assignable sends and
returns for use as assignable “inserts.” The IF-AN/DM does not offer mic
preamps, only balanced analog I/O on 2 D-25 jacks. Adding one IF-
AN/DM to the DM-24 does NOT allow you to record 24 tracks
simultaneously. This is a bussing issue that will be addressed in a future
version of firmware.
