02R Getting Started Guide

Basic Assumptions

The 02R was designed to be the perfect digital mixing console for a studio
using the current generation of modular digital multitrack tape and disk
recorders. Although the 02R can also be used as a sound-reinforcement
mixer, the typical user will own a project recording or post-production
studio with some form of multitrack recorder. Therefore, your 02R will
probably be equipped with one or more of the optional input/output
cards. For the purposes of these tutorials, it does not matter if you are
working with an analog or digital multitrack.
What You Will Need
To perform the following tutorials, you will need:
• The 02R.
• A sound source: CD player, drum machine, synthesizer/sequencer
with demo song.
• Amplifiers and speakers, or headphones.
• A multitrack recorder and a stereo master recorder.
• Audio connecting cables.

Making the Connections

1. Connect your sound source to input channel 1.
If you are using a stereo sound source, connect it to input channel 2 as well.
A stereo source is not essential, and for most of the tutorials it will probably
be easier to work with just one channel. If your sound source has XLR-type
connectors, connect it to the XLR-type connectors on the 02R. Otherwise,
use the phone jacks and select INPUT B with the [A/B] switch.
2. Connect the C-R MONITOR OUT connectors to the inputs on your
power amplifier.
If you are using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack.
3. Connect your multitrack recorder to the appropriate optional
input/output card.
You can also connect your stereo master recorder to either the digital or
analog STEREO OUT connectors.
4. Plug the 02R into a suitable AC receptacle.
