I/O devices and external head amps

V5 Reference Manual

187

This assigns the output signal from the AXT400 to the input channel, and at the same

time allows you to control and monitor the level of the AXT400 from the input channel.

Precautions

• If the target device is unmounted, the parameters on the console return to their default

values. If a new device is mounted and patched, that device’s parameters are applied to the

console.

• All port assignments for a rack are defeated only if the status of the rack is NO ASSIGN.

• Regarding the control of each developer’s device, control parameters are not stored in

scenes and saved in console files.

• For devices that can set both Dante Input Patch and Port Assign, if Dante Input Patch has

already been set, the Port Assign setting will be ignored.

Using an external head amp

If an I/O card (such as an MY16-ES64 card) supports the remote protocol of an external head

amp in the CL’s slot, you will be able to remotely control from the CL console some parameters

of the external head amp (Yamaha SB168-ES or AD8HR), such as phantom power (+48V)

on/off status, gain, and HPF.

For details on the I/O card settings, refer to the Owner’s Manual for the I/O card.

Connecting the CL series console to an AD8HR

To remotely control the AD8HR from the CL series console, install an MY16-ES64

EtherSound card in Slot 1 on the CL unit, then use an Ethernet cable to connect the CL unit

to the NAI48-ES. Then, connect the HA REMOTE connector on the NAI48-ES to the HA

REMOTE 1 connector on the AD8HR using an RS422 D-sub 9-pin cable. This connection

enables you to remotely control the AD8HR from the CL series console.

To transmit audio signals (input to the AD8HR) to the CL series console, connect the DIGITAL

OUT A (or B) connector on the AD8HR to the AES/EBU connector on the NAI48-ES using a

D-sub 25-pin AES/EBU cable. Signals will be sent or received between the NAI48-ES and the

CL series console via the MY16-ES64 card.

Alternatively, you can use a “daisy chain” connection to remotely control multiple AD8HR units

simultaneously. To do this, connect the AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 2 connector to the second

AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 1 connector. If you use the NAI48-ES, you can connect up to six

AD8HR units. In this case, to input AD8HR’s audio signals into the CL series console, install

two MY16-EX cards on the CL unit since each slot on the CL unit accepts up to 16 channel

signals. Then, connect each two of the third and subsequent AD8HRs to each AES/EBU

connector using a D-sub 25-pin AES/EBU cable.
