This section shows how to increase the number of analog
input channels you can record by connecting an eight-
channel mic preamp. In this example, you can record up
to sixteen channels by connecting a maximum of sixteen
mics to the devices. Use the [OPTICAL IN] jack (ADAT) on
the device to input the audio signal, and use the [WORD
CLOCK OUT] jack on the device to output the word clock
signal to the mic preamp.
WARNING
Make sure that you set all volume levels to minimum before
connecting or disconnecting the external device. Otherwise,
high-volume output may damage your hearing or the
equipment.
