Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS12
Connecting sound sources
You can connect line-level instruments, such as a synthesizer or a rhythm machine, and dynamic microphones
directly to INPUT jacks 1–6. We recommend that you connect instruments with a high output impedance, such
as an electric guitar or a bass guitar, via a compact effect processor, pre-amp, or direct box.
Connecting a monitor system
Connect a monitor system, such as audio equipment, to the MASTER OUT jacks. If you are using the DPS12
with a master recorder connected all the time, connect the output jacks of the master recorder to the monitor
system.
Connecting a master recorder
If you use a master recorder that has digital input jacks, such as a DAT recorder or an MD recorder, connect
the OPTICAL OUT jacks of the DPS12 to the digital input jacks of the master recorder, and the output jacks of
the master recorder to the monitor system.
TIP :
If the digital I/O jacks of the master recorder are coaxial, you will need an optical/coaxial
converter.
Similarly, if you use an analog recorder as the master recorder, connect the MASTER OUT jacks of the DPS12
to the input jacks of the master recorder, and the output jacks of the master recorder to the monitor system.
In either case, switch the master recorder to input monitoring status (monitoring the input signal) in order to
record or play back on the DPS12, and switch the recorder to tape monitoring status (monitoring the playback
sound) in order to play back the master recorder.
Connecting a device that has digital output jacks
To input signals from a device that has digital output jacks, such as a DAT recorder, MD recorder, sampler,
etc., into the DPS12, connect the digital output jacks of the external device to the OPTICAL IN jacks of the
DPS12.
NOTE :
When you connect digital inputs, make sure that the sampling rate of the connected digital
device matches that of the DPS12. (See page 73.)
Connecting an external effect unit
To use external effects, such as reverb and delay, connect the AUX SEND A/B jacks of the DPS12 to the input
jacks of the external effect unit, and the output jacks of the effect units to the INPUT jacks of the DPS12.
