Operation Guide Hookups This section shows how the MDR24/96 is typically connected to both analog and digital consoles (using the Mackie Analog and Digital 8•Bus consoles as examples). These examples assume that the rest of your studio equipment (monitors, sound sources, outboard processing, etc.) is already connected, or that you know how to connect it. Before you begin, note how the three eight-channel I/O cards are arranged on the MDR24/96 rear panel: 1-8 is on the left, 9-16 is in the center, and 17-24 is on the right. Labeling each cable before you begin will make connecting the MDR24/96 to your console easier. Note: If you are using a D8B console with either DIO•8, PDI•8, or OPT•8 cards installed, then a Clock I/O card must also be in- stalled in the D8B to properly synchronize its word clock with the MDR24/96. The specific hookups for each MDR24/96 I/O card are shown below. Analog Hookup (AIO•8) This example describes the hookup for the 24•8 analog console. Cables & Hardware (3) AIO•8 cards for MDR24/96 (6) Analog snakes, DB25 to eight 1/4" TRS phone plugs Hookup 1. Connect three snakes to the MDR24/96 Inputs (bottom connector). If you want to have the ability to route any console input to any recorder track, then connect the 1/4" plugs on each of the three snakes to the likenumbered Submaster/Tape Output jacks on the 8•Bus console. This works as long as you don't record more than 8-channels at a time, since the Submaster Outputs 9-16 and 17-24 are the same as outputs 1-8. Alternately, you can connect the console's direct outputs to the recorder's inputs, so that each console channel feeds the like-numbered recorder track. Or, you can use a combination of direct and subgroup outs. The hookup diagram below shows the MDR24/96 inputs connected to the Submaster Outputs.

This section shows how the MDR24/96 is typically connected to both analog and
digital consoles (using the Mackie Analog and Digital 8•Bus consoles as
examples). These examples assume that the rest of your studio equipment
(monitors, sound sources, outboard processing, etc.) is already connected, or that
you know how to connect it.
Before you begin, note how the three eight-channel I/O cards are arranged on the

right. Labeling each cable before you begin will make connecting the MDR24/96 to
your console easier.
The specific hookups for each MDR24/96 I/O card are shown below.

Hookup
1.
Connect three snakes to the MDR24/96 Inputs (bottom connector). If you
want to have the ability to route any console input to any recorder track,
then connect the 1/4" plugs on each of the three snakes to the like-
numbered Submaster/Tape Output jacks on the 8•Bus console. This works
as long as you don’t record more than 8-channels at a time, since the
Submaster Outputs 9-16 and 17-24 are the same as outputs 1-8.
Alternately, you can connect the console’s direct outputs to the recorder’s
inputs, so that each console channel feeds the like-numbered recorder
track. Or, you can use a combination of direct and subgroup outs. The
hookup diagram below shows the MDR24/96 inputs connected to the
