02R with Two DA-88s
This application shows how the 02R can be used with two Tascam DA-88s to create a
24-input, 16-track digital recording system. The 16 tape returns and 24 Mic/Line inputs
provide up to 40 inputs at mixdown. In addition, the 02R’s built-in automation and scene
memory systems provide both dynamic and static mix automation referenced to timecode.
Connections
• The Tascam (CD8-TD) cards must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws
out after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.
• The Tascam digital audio cables (PW-88DL) carry the eight tape sends and returns.
• DA-88–A is connected to Slot [1] of the 02R. These tape inputs correspond to tracks one
through eight. DA-88–B is connected to Slot [2] of the 02R. These tape inputs
correspond to tracks nine through sixteen.
• The optional SY-88 Sync Board is required for DA-88–A. This enables the dedicated
timecode track, which can be re-striped at anytime, and provides SMPTE timecode and
MTC outputs. A timecode offset can be specified on DA-88–A, so the 02R automix start
time can be adjusted.
02R Wordclock Setup
On the DIGITAL I/O menu, the wordclock source should be set to W.CLK.
DA-88 Wordclock Setup
DA-88–A works as wordclock master. Wordclock is fed to the 02R using a BNC to BNC
cable, and to the DA-88–B using a PW-88S 15-pin sync cable. The sampling rate is set when
the DA-88 tapes are formatted. This can be either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. After formatting, the
sampling rate is determined by the formatted tape.
Notes
• The DA-88s must be powered up even when they are not being used. Failure to do so may
cause an intermittent pumping noise on the 02R.
• DA-88–A is set to MACHINE ID 0. DA-88–B is set to MACHINE ID 1. Since DA-88–A
works as Control Master, it should be used for synchronized transport and locate
operations.
• The optional Tascam SY-88 Sync Board must be installed in DA-88–A to use SMPTE
timecode and MTC. This is available from Tascam. DA-88–B does not require the SY-88
Sync Board nor does its tape have to be striped with timecode. It is synchronized to
DA-88–A via the PW-88S 15-pin sync cable.
• The terminator bundled with the PW-88S sync cable should be connected to the SYNC
OUT on DA-88–B to ensure reliable synchronization.
• The rear panel of the SY-88 Sync Board has a DIP switch labeled MODE. Set DIP
switches 2 and 5 to ON (O). Set internal switch 8 on the SY-88 board marked S2 to ON.
• To use the MTC function, the SY-88 firmware must be version 3.08 or higher.
• On the Tascam (CD8-TD) card there is a DIP switch that should be set to 16-bit. This is
the initial setting, but you should confirm it. This switch is for use with Tascam High-Bit
recording applications.
• Tascam 25-pin digital audio cables PW-88DL (5 m) and PW-88D (1 m), and the 15-pin
PW-88S sync cable are available from Tascam.
