The term ADAT has come to stand for both the original digital tape machines and also for the lightpipe data transmission system. The ADAT lightpipe has become an audio industry standard for digital data transmission between units other than the original ADAT tape machines.

Choice of addon pre via ADAT to a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56

Hi Guys, Following my purchase of a Focusrite ISA 2 Preamp unit, I decide to upgrade my 4 m-audio delta cards. I went with the Saffire 56, seemed a good choice with good reviews. The Preamps quality is honest and for the small tests I did, the converter seemed better than the delta cards.

So the question : I'm used to have 16 inputs, what can I get to upgrade the Saffire 56.

increase output channels using ADAT

Hey guys,

In a situation where a sound card has minimal outputs. Can you use an ADAT device to add to the number of available outputs to go into a multi-channel summing mixer? I didnt think this was possible but was told otherwise..

Equipment I'm using is Lynx Two 4 i/o and Lynx ADAT card. Would something like a Behringer ADA8000 allow me to output the ADAT channels?

Combining LS-ADAT to my Lynx Two A card

hey guys,

In attempt to gain access to more channels for an upcoming drum recording, I am considering buying a LS-ADAT to co exist with my Lynx Two (4 input card)

I plan to use a UA 4710D using the Lynx LS-ADAT for the purpose of 3 Toms and HiHat
I will connect my Seven Circle Pres to my Lynx Two for Overheads Bass and snare.

Probably a no brainer, ADAT Q. in PT

Trying to set up an Octopre MKII today, problem is in the PT Hardware menu doesn't have the ADAT option under "Optical Format". It has "none" and spdif. Does anyone know why this is missing? I've searched the Duc (I don't know why I still do that), Google, and this forum, nothing yet. Any info or redirection to a useful thread would be great, thanks guys!

Help with MOTU 2408 and ADAT lightpipe

I have a MOTU 2408 Mark 1 and 2-ADAT blackface and 2-ADAT XT-20s. I am trying to get the Adats into my computer but I can't seem to find a way to get Cubase or Reaper to see the optical inputs. I also don't have a manual for the 2408 and have not had any success locating one via google, yahoo, etc. Can anyone help me to get my ADAT tracks into my computer digitally?

I have an old Groove Tubes 6TM mic with the PS1 Vacuum tube power supply. The mic end looks like the Groove Tubes EC7 cable in that it has a 7-pin connector. The power supply end looks like an 9-pin ADAT sync connector almost like a vga computer display connector. I am in need of the pin out configuration so that I can build one or a source to purchase one.

PreSonus Firestudio 26x26 BNC or ADAT snyc?

I have the firestudio 26x26 and the Digimax FS. I recently got the digimax fs and have been encountering some sync errors by using only the ADAT sync.

The firestudio manual does not recommend to connect BNC to the Digimax, why? It seems like a better connection so I did it now and it seems to sync better.
