Topic: HDSP 9652 query

Recently was impressed by seeing the 9652 in action and total mix that I had the opportunity to buy a pc a while back with one equipped, also with a Tdiff daughter card  and couldn't resist. Now I have the time to build my studio I have noticed that the red  light on the adat 1 isnt showing like the other adat banks and was wondering if it was:

a) Anything to do with the Tdiff daughter card

b)if not,  Is it repairable and would it be costly if it is damaged.

Thanks

Gary

Re: HDSP 9652 query

You mean the (one) TOSLINK output shows no optical signal?

Correct, the adat 1 shows no Toslink output. I have it connected to my sony dmx r100. No channels 1-8 coming through to Total mix, my other card on the mixer sends signal ok to 9-16.

Thanks

Re: HDSP 9652 query

Verify your SPDIF Input (or output as I believe you are referring to) is set to "COAX" in your DSP Settings Dialogue (I believe it defaults to "Optical" and basically converts ADAT 1 into a Toslink SPDIF Input port).

If you aren't even seeing the red light at the ADAT OUTPUT port - then it could be a hardware failure.

Re: HDSP 9652 query

Hi
Had chance to look at the DSP settings and the SPDIF in is set to coax and no red light still.  Do you think this is a hardware failure? possibly a costly one.

Out of interest do you know  where  I send it to  have it looked at. Im in the UK.

Thanks for your advice

Re: HDSP 9652 query

Are you looking for an ADAT light on an ADAT INPUT Port?  You won't see one at the Input Port - only at an ADAT Output Port (and through the cable if you unplug it from the associated Input).  The "Input" accepts the light/optical signal and won't emit one of its own...

If this is indeed an ADAT OUTPUT Port and you don't see the ADAT Light - then it could be a hardware failure.  I have no clue about a repair estimate in that case...

Can you describe your system config and clocking in detail?  Something else might be going on...

cool
