USING THE 828MKII WITH A MIXER

While there are many ways to use the 828mkII with
an external mixer, typically the 828mkII serves as a
multi-channel "pipeline" between the mixer and
the computer. If your mixer is analog, connect the
analog section of the 828mkII to your mixer. If
your mixer is digital, and it has ADAT optical I/O,
you can connect them optically as shown below in

SPDIF inputs and outputs can serve as an
extension to the mixer I/O, but then you will
probably find yourself mixing in two places: the
mixer and the computer. A word of advice: if you
would like to use the 828mkII with an external
mixer, use the mixer for mixing. Trying to mix
large multitrack projects in two places can become
very cumbersome very quickly.
