21—Working with the VS-2400CD Outputs
The VS-2400CD offers a wide range of analog output jacks and digital connectors from
which you can send its audio signals to external devices. This chapter discusses how to
route signals to them and how they can be used.

The VS-2400CD Outputs

Output Pairs

The VS-2400CD's analog and digital outputs are managed as left/right or odd/even
output pairs when you're routing signals to them. These pairs can't be altered.

Analog Output Jacks

The VS-2400CD has eight 1/4" analog output jacks that you can connect to external
devices when you want to send audio signals out of the VS-2400CD. You can use the
jacks for the jobs suggested by their names or for any other purpose in which you need
to get a VS-2400CD audio signal to an external device that has analog inputs.
When you're routing busses to them, the eight 1/4"mono analog output jacks are
divided into the following four sets of stereo jacks:
•
When you're routing track signals directly to the analog jacks—perhaps to send them
to tracks on an external multitrack recorder with analog inputs—they're divided into
the following four pairs of output jacks:
•
•
The MONITOR bus' signal is automatically routed to the stereo 1/4" PHONES jack.

Digital Output Connectors

The VS-2400CD provides coaxial, optical and R-BUS digital output connectors.
Coaxial and Optical Output Connectors
The VS-2400CD has one coaxial and one optical output each (Page 50).
If you've connected a VS-2400CD digital output to a device that's using a lower bit rate,
you can dither the VS-2400CD's output down to that bit depth—see Page 359.
You can activate digital copy-protection to prevent the making of digital copies of audio
you've recorded on a connected external DAT or MiniDisc recorder—see Page 360.
For a detailed discussion of master clock considerations when sending digital audio
from device to device, see Page 128.
