output simultaneously. The control room and studio outputs on the cascade slave could be used to feed different monitors systems. Use the cascade master for your standard near field monitors and studio speakers, while the cascade slave could feed midfield speakers and small computer speakers. It is always nice to reference wide variety of different speakers when mixing. Cascading makes this easy. Cascading two DM-24s provides: • 32 mic pres • 64 channels • 48 channels of TDIF I/O • 16 channels of ADAT lightpipe I/O • 4 AES/EBU 2 channel digital I/O • 4 S/PDIF 2 channel digital I/O • 8 Assignable sends and returns • 4 Internal effects processors (2 in each) • 33 Touch sensitive, motorized faders • The ability to run a 24 track, 24-bit, 96kHz, 5.1 mixing environment! OPERATING AT 96kHz In Hi Sampling mode the DM-24 is a 16 channel console. There are 12 mic/line inputs or 12 return channels making channels 13-16 your input-only channels. However, only mic/line inputs 1-8 are assignable in this mode. As in normal sampling mode, you can assign the mic/line inputs to more then on channel simultaneously. Mic/line 2 can be assigned to channel 2, channel 10 and channel 12 for example. Or 12 "RETURNS" can be assigned to channels 1-12 allowing you to mix 12 96kHz tracks from an MX-2424 for example. The outputs are configured very intelligently. TDIF 1- Buss outs 1-4/Direct out 1-4 or Aux 1-4 TDIF 2- Buss outs 5-8/Direct out 5-8 or Aux 1-4 TDIF 3- Buss outs1-4/Direct out 1-4, Buss outs 5-8/Direct out 5-8 or Aux 1-4. Having the ability to use the 8 busses allows you to mix in 5.1. • There is only one 2-channel digital I/O in 96K mode. Assignment choices are: Stereo outputs, Buss 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, Aux 1-2, 3-4 or the control room outputs. • TC Works reverb or the Antares mic and speaker modeling are NOT available in Hi Sampling mode. • There are only 2 assignable sends and returns available. • The Master Compressor Insert Matrix is limited to one stereo compressor assignable to the stereo buss, buss 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 or Aux 1-2, 3-4. • Expander/Gates are only available on channels 1-8. • All channel EQ and compressors are exactly the same as 48K operation.
