Supplementary Notes

How to connect the VM-7000 series and the
ADA-7000
To connect the VM-7200/7100 and the ADA-7000 via R-BUS, VM-24E I/O Expansion Board (sold separately) is
needed. By installing the VM-24E to a VM-7200/7100 processor, you can connect up to three ADA-7000's.
* Refer to VM-7200/7100 Owner's Manual p. 14 "Installing
R-BUS (RMDB2) Connectors (VM-24E)."
Connection
Connect the VM-7200/7100 and the ADA-7000 with the
R-BUS cable attached in the ADA-7000 box.
* Refer to ADA-7000 Owner's Manual p. 9 "An Example of Connection."
Booting up
Turn the power on the ADA-7000 first, then VM-7200/7100 processor, and finally VM-C7200/C7100 console.
Clock source setting
If clock source has not been set, noise may be generated from the audio output on the ADA-7000 and the VM-7000.
While setting the clock source, please turn down the master and monitor level, and turn up again after the setting is
finished. Set the sampling clock on the ADA-7000 and the VM-7000 as follows.

Master clock on the VM-7000:
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.
* Refer to ADA-7000 Owner's Manual p. 6 "Clock source."
VM-7000 setting
Set the master clock of the VM-7200/7100 to INTERNAL as follows.
1. Hold down [SHIFT], and press [PROJECT].
2. Press [DOWN] cursor, then [F1 (DIGITAL I/O)].
3. Select "WORD CLOCK SOURCE," and set it to "INTERNAL" with V1 knob, then press [F1 (SET)] to activate the result.
* Refer to VM-C7200/C7100 Owner's Manual p. 32 "Checking the overall system."
* If you set the clock source differently, please refer to the
ADA-7000 Owner's Manual p. 6 "Clock source" and the
VM-C7200/C7100 Owner's Manual p. 31 "About Digital Connections and the Master Clock."
* VM-7000 is not accommodated with 96.0 kHz sample rate. 96.0 kHz sample rate capability on the ADA-7000 is for
the future devices.
* If the system of the VM-C7200/C7100 is version 1.0x,
"DIF-AT" is displayed in the R-BUS CONFIG page even though the ADA-7000 is connected. This cause no problem
for the operation. With the VM-C7200/C7100 version 1.10 or later, you can set the ADA-7000 with the R-BUS
CONFIG page.
