1. Introduction
The DN32-ADAT card is a multichannel audio interface expansion
card for the Midas M32 series of digital mixers. It provides
32 channels of input and output via 8 Toslink connectors and
word clock transmission via coaxial connector. The interface is
perfect for recording with standalone ADAT hard disk recorders
and offers options for incorporating external processors with
ADAT connectivity.
2. Installation
Before you install the DN32-ADAT card in the expansion slot of the
M32 console, you must check klarkteknik.com to verify whether
the console firmware supports that card.
Caution – before installing the DN32-ADAT card into the console,
you must make sure that the console's power switch is turned off.
Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.
1.
Make sure that the mixer's power is turned off.
2.
Loosen the 2 screws left and right that fasten the slot,
then remove the slot cover or currently-installed card and
keep it in a safe place.
3.
Before removing the DN32-ADAT card from its protective
bag, we recommend touching the grounded metal chassis of
the console to prevent electrostatic discharges affecting the
sensitive electronic components. It is generally a good idea
to hold the card either by the face plate or by the two small
handles, but never touching the components on the circuit
board directly.
4.
Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the
slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. Push the card
all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts of the
card are correctly inserted into the connector inside.
Quick Start Guide
