10 ADAT XT Reference Manual
BASIC AUDIO HOOKUP
J
When connecting audio cables and/or turning power on and off, make sure that all
devices in your system are turned off and the volume controls are turned down.
The XT provides eight -10dBV analog outputs via phono connectors. These should
be connected to your mixer’s tape or line inputs. Alternatively, a multi-pin connector
can be used with the XT’s +4dBu analog inputs and outputs (see Chapter 3).

INPUT NORMALING
The XT has eight -10 dBV analog inputs, but you can choose between three different
Input Modes: 2-Input Mode, 4-Input Mode and 8-Input Mode. These can provide three
different analog audio input hookup options, and are available for both -10 dBV and
+4dBu analog inputs:
• 2 Bus Mixer. Connect the mixer’s two bus outputs to the XT’s INPUTS [1] and
[2]. Select 2-Input Mode on the XT by holding the [ANALOG INPUT] button and
pressing either Track Select buttons [1] or [2]; notice that the INPUT LEDs for
tracks 1 and 2 remain lit until you release the [ANALOG INPUT] button.
• 4 Bus Mixer. Connect the mixer’s four bus outputs to the XT’s INPUTS [1]
through [4]. Select 4-Input Mode by holding the [ANALOG INPUT] button and
pressing either Track Select buttons [3] or [4]; notice that the INPUT LEDs for
tracks 1 through 4 remain lit until you release the [ANALOG INPUT] button.
• 8 Bus Mixer/Direct Outputs. Connect the mixer’s eight bus outputs (or 8 direct
outputs) to the XT’s INPUTS [1] through [8]. Select 8-Input Mode by holding the
[ANALOG INPUT] button and pressing any Track Select button from [5] - [8];
notice that the INPUT LEDs for tracks 1 through 8 remain lit until you release the
[ANALOG INPUT] button.
