6 - Hookup This section explains how to connect the DM-24 to other equipment, dividing the connections into analog, digital and sync/control type connections. These are not sample setups, but pointers to the capabilities of the DM-24 when used with other equipment in your setup. NOTE Always turn off the power to the DM-24 and other equipment when making and breaking connections. Analog connections Reapply power in the direction of source to destination (for example, turn on any external effect units and electronic instruments or other audio source first, followed by the DM-24 and any recording devices, and finish with the monitoring system. Refer to "Parts of the DM-24" on page 28 for details of the specific terminals and connectors named in this section, and to "Setting up the I/O" on page 36 for details of how the internal assignments and patching are performed inside the DM-24.

Both sets of connectors are balanced (though when unbalanced plugs are inserted into the LINE 1/4" jacks, these are used as unbalanced inputs). NOTE Only one connector of each channel (XLR or 1/4") should be in use at any one time. Do not make connections to both the 1/4" jack and the XLR connector of a single channel). There is no way to switch between them. The MIC XLR connectors can be supplied with phantom power (+48V). This is switched in blocks of four, with one switch controlling the phantom power supply to inputs 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16. NOTE Always take care when switching the phantom power, to ensure that devices which may be damaged if phantom power is supplied are not connected to XLR connectors where phantom power is supplied. 44 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
