DA7 Tour
2-4 Rear Panel
Everything that goes in, out, and through the DA7 happens on the Rear
Panel, with the exception of the headphone connector. The DA7 provides
multiple ways for doing many things, so let your creativity be your guide.
The rear of the DA7 is configured in four rows. The top row contains analog
INPUTS 1-16 (inputs 1-8 are balanced XLR connectors and inputs 9-16 are
balanced TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) phone plug connectors). Row 2 contains
analog INS 1-16 (inserts) with (TRS) phone plug connectors. Row 3 contains
outputs for MASTER OUT, REC OUT analog, MONITORS A&B, and AUX
returns and sends 1 through 6. The bottom row contains the METER
BRIDGE connection, MIDI IN/OUT, SERIAL PORT (for direct connection to
a PC or a Macintosh computer), WORD CLOCK IN/OUT, DIGITAL IN/OUT,
and a REMOTE SW connector.
