Akai DD1500 User Manual page 29

This could be considered to be the minimum setup you could install. Inputs are purely
digital using the digital inputs A and B and mix down is via the digital MIX A/MIX B outputs
and/or the analogue line out mix outputs on the DL1500. Such a setup may be sufficient
for editing and compiling radio drama where audio is recorded from DAT and sound
effects and music, etc., are added from CD and/or DAT. A rough mix may be done within
the DD1500 and the disk then transferred to a larger mixdown room for the final mix.
The DD1500m connects to the DD1500x using SCSI (taking care to pay attention to SCSI
ID and termination settings) and to the DL1500 using the BNC AKAINET connection (the
AKAINET termination MUST be ON on both machines for system to work). In order to
have the headphone and line out monitoring on the DL1500, the special digital audio link
must be connected using the 9-pin D-sub cable supplied.
The external monitor is a standard S-VGA colour monitor such as you would use with any
PC and any size may be used.
Of course, to this basic system, you may add analogue and/or digital inputs and outputs
for use with an external mixer.
If you plan to do a lot of naming of recordings and files, an external PC keyboard is
recommended.
