then a Clock I/O
card must also be
installed in the D8B

HDR 24/96
This section shows how the HDR24/96 is typically connected to either analog or
digital consoles (using the Mackie Analog and Digital 8•Bus consoles as
examples). These examples assume that the rest of your studio equipment
(monitors, sound sources, outboard processing, etc.) is already connected, or that
you know how to connect it.
Before you begin, note how the three eight-channel I/O cards are arranged on the
HDR24/96 rear panel: 1-8 is on the left, 9-16 is in the center, and 17-24 is on the
right. Labeling cables before you begin will make connecting the HDR24/96 to
your console easier.
The specific hookups for each HDR24/96 I/O card are shown below.
Analog Hookup (AIO•8)
This example describes the hookup for the 24•8 analog console.

(6) Analog snakes, DB25 to eight 1/4" TRS phone plugs
Hookup
1. Connect three snakes to the HDR24/96 Inputs (bottom connector). If you
want to have the ability to route any console input to any recorder track,
then connect the 1/4" plugs on each of the three snakes to the like-
numbered Submaster / Tape Output jacks on the 8•Bus console. This
works as long as you don't record more than 8-channels at a time, since
the Submaster Outputs 9-16 and 17-24 are the same as outputs 1-8.
Alternately, you can connect the console's direct outputs to the recorder's
inputs, so that each console channel feeds the like-numbered recorder
track. Or, you can use a combination of direct and subgroup outs. The
hookup diagram below shows the HDR24/96 inputs connected to the
Submaster Outputs. See the Applications Manual for additional tips.
