SETUP EXAMPLES
Example 4: Digital Konnekt x32 and ProTools
PROTOOLS SYSTEM
AES/EBU 1/2
DVD PLAYER
TOS 5/6
SPDIF 3/4
FINALIZER 96K
AIR SPEAKERS
CAT 5
AES 7/8
SPDIF 5/6
REVERB 4000
This example illustrates Digital Konnekt x32 used in conjunction with a ProTools setup integrating external digital devices. The screenshot in this example is based on ProTools HD but applies to any version of Pro Tools hardware that has digital in (AES/EBU, SPDIF, ADAT, TOS or Word Clock).
Connections:
•A DVD player is connected to TOS 5/6
•Finalizer 96K is connected via SPDIF coax 3/4
•Reverb 4000 is connected via SPDIF coax 5/6 on Digital Konnekt x32
•AES 7/8 out is connected to active monitors
•AES 1/2 in/out is connected to ProTools
Objects:
-Reverb 4000 is an excellent reverb and we will use this as a send effect in ProTools.
-Finalizer 96k is a top quality multiband compressor for mastering and we want to use this as an insert effect on a master output bus.
-We want to be able to route stereo audio from the DVD player via TOS to ProTools or directly to the active monitors
As we have five external digital devices and only four channel pairs (not counting ADAT) we have put the DVD player on the same channel pair as the Reverb 4000. In the AES/SPDIF/TOS input select section you will then have to decide which device that should be routed for the current application. - It is likely that you don’t need to listen to the DVD player and route the Reverb 4000 at the same time.
