Digital I/O Card ADAT (CD8-AT)
The ADAT digital I/O card (CD8-AT) is used to connect Alesis ADAT
compatible modular digital multitrack recorders to the 02R.

Installing the CD8-AT

The ADAT digital I/O card (CD8-AT) is a single slot card. For installation
instructions, see “Single Slot Cards” on page 175 of the User’s Guide.
1. Connect the ADAT modular digital multitrack recorder to the 02R
using the appropriate connectors.
Use the special ADAT optical cables to plug the IN connector of the
CD8-AT to the OPTICAL OUT connector of the ADAT modular digital
multitrack recorder. Plug the OUT connector of the CD8-AT to the
OPTICAL IN connector of the ADAT recorder.
If you have installed more than one CD8-AT in the 02R and have more
than one ADAT recorder, connect it in the same manner as the first unit.
2. The Alesis ADAT modular digital multitrack recorder does not
have a dedicated wordclock output connector. If you are using
the BRC ADAT remote controller, you can use the 48kHZ OUT
connector and an appropriate cable to plug it into the WORD
CLOCK IN connector on the back of the 02R and turn the 75
terminator switch on.
If there is no dedicated wordclock output, you can obtain the
wordclock signal required from the digital interconnect line.
Note: A dedicated wordclock line will give you the best wordclock
synchronization results.
