Model 58 Single-Channel
Mode
DIP switch 5 on the Model 58’s front panel
allows the operating mode to be set.
Installations that utilize a Model 59 Control
Console will use the two-channel mode,
configured by setting DIP switch 5 to the
off (down) position. In this mode, a Model
58 supports two output channels and four
2-channel input pairs. Special applications
can use the Model 58’s single-channel
operating mode, configured by setting DIP
switch 5 to the on (up) position. Figures
12, 13, and 14 provide detailed connection
information for the inputs, outputs, and
inserts when a Model 58 is operating in
the single-channel mode.
The concept of the single-channel mode
is simple: The signal flow is organized so
that any of the eight main inputs can be
routed to one monitor and meter output.
(This is in contrast to the two-channel
mode where the eight main inputs are
organized as four pairs.) In the single-
channel mode, a maximum of four of the
8 inputs can be simultaneously routed to
one output channel. Specifically, monitor
output 1 (A and B), meter output 1, insert
1/channel 1, insert 2/channel 1 are active
in the single-channel mode. Monitor output
2 (A and B), meter output 2, insert 1/
channel 2, and insert 2/channel 2 are
disabled.
It is expected that a number of applica-
tions for the single-channel mode will
arise. A special version of the Model 59
Control Console can be created at the
factory to allow up to eight 8-channel

sources to be connected to eight Model 58
units. It is also anticipated that custom
installations will be created that generate
MIDI system-exclusive messages to
“drive” Model 58 units. Contact the factory
for additional information.

Notes: 1) Connector type on Model 58 is 25-pin
D-subminiature female. Installer must
provide plug (male). Connector uses 4-40
threaded inserts for locking with mating plug.
2) Wiring scheme follows Tascam DA-88
convention. Standard DA-88-type wiring
harnesses are directly compatible, with the
exception of 4-40 screw threads being
required.
