02R with Akai DR8 Hard Disk Recorder
This application shows how the 02R can be used with an Akai DR8 Hard Disk Recorder to
create a 24-input, 8-track digital recording system. The eight digital tape returns and 24
Mic/Line inputs provide up to 32 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 ADAT (CD8-AT) card must be screwed securely in place. Do not leave the screws out
after installation as the cards will not be grounded correctly.
• The DR8 is fitted with an optional ADAT (IB-804A) interface card. For MTC operation,
the DR8 requires an optional MIDI (IB803M) interface card. For SMPTE operation, an
optional SMPTE (IB802T) interface card.
• The Digital In/Out connectors on the 02R and DR8 are connected together using Optical
Cables.
• The DR8 is connected to Slot [1] of the 02R. These tape inputs correspond to tracks one
through eight.
02R Wordclock Setup
The 02R works as wordclock slave. An ADAT (CD8-AT) card is installed in Slot [1], so any
pair of the tape inputs from 1 to 8 can be selected as the wordclock source on the DIGITAL
I/O menu.
DR8 Wordclock Setup
The DR8 works as wordclock master.
Notes
• When a track is armed for recording, the DR8 will normally try to take its wordclock
source from that track’s input. To prevent this, in the Digi submenu set Auto Sync to Off.
Note that the Auto Sync setting is not memorized when the DR8 is turned off, although
it can be stored as part of a project.
