Question

I have a Studio One and DP-88 connected, Mic's 1&2 are open but 3 - 8 (S192) and 1 - 5 are loaded. Input 5( DP-88) drops out when I go above 48kHz not sure why. Connected as diagram lays out for connecting the two together, so not really sure what I have or have not done. If I'm reading the documents right I should at least be able to fill up the DP-88 before losing use of 96kHz?.

Hope this info helps?!

Answer 1

When you refer to the "diagram lays out for connecting the two together", are you referring to the connection diagram on page 9 of the Studio 192 manual? If so, that diagram won't get you 8 channels of 96k over ADAT.

If you look at ADAT inputs on the back of your Studio 192, you'll notice that the channel count drops when you go from 48k to 96k (higher sampling rate = more bandwith necessary = less channels.) The connection diagram on page 9 of the manual is having you got from ADAT Output 1 (which, if you look at the back of your DP88, you'll notice only sends channels 1-4 when using 96k) into ADAT Input 1 on the Studio 192. So that connection will get you 8 channels of 48k or 4 channels of 96k.

Long story short: if you want 8 channels of 96k, you need to also connect ADAT Output 2 of your DP88 into ADAT Input 2 of your Studio 192.
