Connecting External Devices
“Connection Example 4” is for recording a concert or the like, but as shown below, you can also make connections that do not go
through a mixer. When you record the sound only, with no speaker output, place the digital snake near the sound sources and
connect the recorder via the S-OPT units and S-MADI.
* Conversion from analog to digital is accomplished near the sources, which can help prevent signal degradation.
* Use an optical cable to connect the two S-OPT units. For information on how to make the connections, operation methods, and usable cables,
refer to the owner’s manual for the S-OPT.
* Adjusting the gain or other settings on the digital snake can be accomplished using a dedicated remote controller (S-4000R) or dedicated
remote-control software (S-4000 RCS).
* You cannot set Digital Snake’s REAC Mode to Master when it is used in connection with S-MADI.

When making connections described here, set the modes and switches as shown below.
