Section 13 – Example setups05/30/97 – 1.00 – 13-113 – Example setupsThis section gives a few examples of how the DA-98 might be used in real-world situations together withother equipment.13.1 An all-DA-98 setupIn this example, a small audio studio offers its clients 24 digital tracks by using three DA-98s synchronizedtogether.Many of the clients bring in worktapes or basic tracks recorded on their home DA-38s or from smaller projectstudios using a DTRS machine. The DA-98s in the studio can, naturally, use these tapes.If a client brings in a different model of (timecode-based) machine and tape from a project studio, the DA-98’s timecode facilities are used. Usually, though, timecode synchronization is not used, and the DA-98s aresynchronized using DTRS synchronization.The mixing console is a TASCAM M-5000 console. Since the integral patchbay of this console is already fit-ted with D-sub connectors, the cabling requirements are reduced – all track inputs and tape returns are carriedon six cables, rather than 48.EFFECTORSMIXING CONSOLEDATREMOTE CONTROLLERSYNCSYNCCASSETTEDA-98METER UNITMDNEAR FIELD MONITORLARGE MONITORPOWER AMPPOWER AMPLARGE MONITORREMOTEMETERCDFROM STUDIOTO STUDIO
