Front and Rear Panels Front Panel fig.1 In some cases, it may be possible to make settings on the device connected via R-BUS to disable front panel operations. 1 PHANTOM Buttons 1–8 When connecting the XLR input jack to a device that requires phantom power, turn this on.
R-BUS connector, the R-BUS indicator will blink. If you have selected “R- BUS (RMDB2)” as the sampling clock of the ADA-7000, you must set the master clock of the connected device to be other than the R-BUS to which that ADA-7000 is connected.
2 WORD CLOCK IN/OUT Connectors When supplying a sampling clock from an external device to the ADA-7000, input the WORDCLOCK signal here. Use this when you want the reference clock to be another device that outputs a high-precision sampling clock, or when synchronizing to a device that has only a WORDCLOCK OUT.

Front and Rear Panels TERMINATOR Switch: Turn this on if the ADA-7000 is the last device in the word clock signal chain. Normally you will leave this turned on. Turn this off only if you are using a relay connector to distribute the word signal to other devices.
An Example of Connection As an example, we will explain how to connect a Roland VM-7200 mixing processor. * To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
Turn on the power of the ADA-7000. Turn on the power of the devices connected to the R-BUS connector. Set the master clock (sampling clock) of the ADA-7000 and of the devices connected to the R-BUS connector of the ADA-7000.
Roland will take no responsibility for any “direct damages,” “consequential damages,” or “any other damages” which may result from your use of the ADA-7000. These damages may include but are not limited to the following events which can occur when using the ADA-7000.
Roland service center, or your dealer. The CLOCK SOUCE R-BUS (RMDB2) indicator is blinking. No sampling clock is being input to the R-BUS connector of the ADA-7000. Make the correct master clock settings on the device connected to the R-BUS connector (p. 8).
ADA-7000 setting Check if the clock source on the ADA-7000 is set to R-BUS. When the ADA-7000 is booted up, the clock source is set to R-BUS. If you connect multiple ADA-7000, set the clock source on all ADA-7000 to R-BUS.
Press [MULTI IN 1-24] in the “SECTION” block. Press [PREAMP GAIN] in the “PARAM VIEW on Fader” block. Control the gain and phantom power on/off in the same manner as for the [INPUT]. * PAD on the ADA-7000 is automatically switched on/off according to the gain setting.
