chapter 10
Connecting Pro Tools to an ADAT-Compatible
Digital Mixer
You can use your ADAT Bridge I/O to con-
nect your Pro Tools system with an ADAT-
compatible, ADAT optical-equipped digital
mixing console such as the Yamaha 02R,
Ramsa DA7, and others.
To connect the ADAT Bridge I/O to a ADAT-
compatible digital mixing console:
1 Follow the basic setup instructions previ-
ously given in “Primary Connections
(Bridge I/O to Pro Tools and ADAT)” on
page 10, but instead of making connec-
tions to an ADAT:
2 Connect an optical cable from Optical #1
Out on the ADAT Bridge I/O to optical in-
put #1 on the digital mixing console.
3 Connect a an optical cable from optical
output #1 on the digital mixing console to
Optical #1 In on the ADAT Bridge I/O.
4 Connect an optical cable from Optical #2
Out on the ADAT Bridge I/O to optical in-
put #2 on the digital mixing console.
5 Connect an optical cable from optical
output #2 on the digital mixing console to
Optical #2 In on the ADAT Bridge I/O.
6 If your digital console does not have the
ability to lock to the Word Clock signal car-
ried over these optical connections, con-
nect the Word Clock out of the
ADAT Bridge I/O to the Word Clock in of
the digital console. This is necessary for
both systems to be able to synchronize to
the same master clock reference.
☞ Refer to the documentation that came with
your digital console for additional installation
and operational information.
