Digital Recording Console 02R Getting Started Guide
Basic Assumptions
The Digital Recording Console 02R was designed to be the perfect digital
mixing console for a studio using the current generation of modular
digital multitrack tape and disk recorders. Although the 02R can also be
used as a sound-reinforcement mixer, the typical user will own a project
recording or post-production studio with some form of multitrack
recorder. Therefore, your 02R will probably be equipped with one or
more of the optional input/output cards. For the purposes of these
tutorials, it does not matter if you are working with an analog or digital
multitrack.

What You Will Need

To perform the following tutorials, you will need:
•The 02R.
•A sound source: CD player, drum machine, synthesizer/sequencer
with demo song.
•Amplifiers and speakers, or headphones.
•A multitrack recorder and a stereo master recorder.
•Audio connecting cables.
Making the Connections
1. Connect your sound source to input channel 1.
If you are using a stereo sound source, connect it to input channel 2 as well.
A stereo source is not essential, and for most of the tutorials it will probably
be easier to work with just one channel. If your sound source has XLR-type
connectors, connect it to the XLR-type connectors on the 02R. Otherwise,
use the phone jacks and select INPUT B with the [A/B] switch.
2. Connect the C-R MONITOR OUT connectors to the inputs on your
power amplifier.
If you are using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack.
3. Connect your multitrack recorder to the appropriate optional
input/output card.
You can also connect your stereo master recorder to either the digital or
analog STEREO OUT connectors.
4. Plug the 02R into a suitable AC receptacle.
