DTRS recorders and digital mixing consoles, etc.
1.4.4 Reference clock in a digital studio
It is likely that the RC-898 will be operated in an
environment where there is more than one digital
audio source available.
If this is the case, you must make sure that all dig-
ital audio sources in the setup are driven by the
same reference clock signal (“word clock” or
“Word sync”).
If different clock sources are used throughout a
setup, it is actually possible to damage speakers,
etc. because of mismatches.
1.5 Accessories
Despite the powerful range of functions which
may be controlled from the RC-898, the unit is
relatively compact. It may be found convenient to
mount the RC-898 on a roll-around stand, avail-
able as CS-898.
Should you need extension meters from the tape
decks, this can be achieved using MU-8824 meter
units and appropriate mounting hardware (MK-
8924).
WARNING
Only use TASCAM-supplied and TASCAM-approved
cables when making such connections. Though the cables
and connectors may resemble computer cables, they serve
different purposes, and meet a different set of specifications.
The use of cables other than TASCAM cables will at best
cause the equipment to work erratically, and at worst cause
damage to the equipment.
If the use of cables other than TASCAM cables causes or
results in damage, the warranty is voided.
