CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
Audio Connections
Audio connections should be made as shown in the diagram below. ADAT optical cables must be
connected from the ADAT Out port of the WaveCenter/PCI card to the ADAT In port of the 328XD, and vice
versa. 75Ω Coaxial digital S/PDIF cables must also be connected from the WaveCenter/PCI S/PDIF output
to the 328XD S/PDIF input and vice versa.
In this configuration, the ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct outputs from the 328XD's
input channels 1-8 to the WaveCenter/PCI card, or the 328XD's 8 Group outputs. The S/PDIF output
from the console can be assigned to either the Mix output, 1 of 3 stereo auxiliary outputs (Aux 1/2, Aux
3/4 or FX-1/2), pairs of Group outputs or the Control Room output. The 328XD S/PDIF Input can be
configured as a digital Stereo Input or as a digital 2-Track Return.
Other Connections
You may also wish to connect the 328XD to the WaveCenter/PCI card via MIDI to allow MIDI automation /
System Exclusive dumps from the 328XD to be recorded and played back from your PC.
