Cascading The 03D - Yamaha 03D Owner's Manual

Cascading the 03D

The CD8-CS Cascade Kit allows two 03Ds to work together as one 32-input mixing
console, with both 03Ds sharing a common bus system (inputs 17–24 are not available
when a cascade card is installed). The 03D can also be cascaded with the Yamaha 02R
Digital Recording Console, which is an 8-bus console. The CD8-CS Cascade Kit con-
tains two cards and one cable. This is all that is required to cascade two 03Ds or a 03D
and 02R together.
When two consoles are cascaded together, one acts as master, the other as a slave. The
IN/OUT switch on the CD8-CS card installed in the slave console is set to OUT. On the
master console this switch is set to IN.
Note: Turn off the 03D before setting CD8-CS IN/OUT switches.
When a CD8-CS Cascade card is installed in the 03D, the cascade signal sources are
selected automatically, and are not affected by the YGDAI OUTPUT ASSIGN settings
on the D.out Setup page. The cascade signal configurations are explained in the follow-
ing table.
Signal
The Bus buses of both consoles are connected directly. The bus out signal levels
Bus are controlled using the bus out faders on the master console. Bus out faders on
the slave console are essentially redundant.
The Aux buses of both consoles are connected directly. The aux send signal levels
Aux are controlled using the aux send faders on the master console. Aux send master
faders on the slave console are essentially redundant.
The Effects buses of the slave and master consoles are not connected. This means
Effects that the onboard effects processors of both consoles can be used independently
to process signals of the respective console.
The Stereo buses of both consoles are connected directly. The stereo output sig-
nal level is controlled using the ST OUT fader on the master console. Two-track
Stereo
mastering and monitoring equipment should be connected to the master con-
sole. The ST OUT fader on the slave console is essentially redundant.
The Solo buses of both consoles are connected directly. Solo mode is engaged
using the [SOLO] button on the master console. The [SOLO] button on the slave
Solo console is essentially redundant. Solo Status settings must be made on the mas-
ter console. Listen, Sel mode, and safe channel settings are made on the respec-
tive console.
Cascade settings on the master console are made on the Cascade page, which is available
only when a CD8-CS Cascade card is installed, and the IN/OUT switch on that card is
set to IN. There are no configuration settings for the slave console.
