Getting Started

Power up sequence

• • Outboard gear

  • Audio Interfaces

  • Computer

  • Launch Pro Tools

  • Headphone amp

  • Speakers - individual switches on front face

  • Recall 'Scene Memory' 1 on DM2000

Fader Layers

• • 1-24 - channel path. Input from mic inputs, output is routed 'Direct' to Pro Tools inputs 1-24

  • 25-48 - monitor path. Input comes from Pro Tools outputs 1-24, output is routed to 'Stereo' bus for monitoring

  • 49-72 - Effect 1-8 stereo returns as paired channels. Input comes from internal effect outputs, output is routed to 'Stereo' bus for monitoring

  • Remote 1 - Pro Tools HUI controller mode

Headphones

• • HP amp is fed from paired aux sends 9-10 and 11-12

  • Aux 9-10 is for Live 5, and Aux 11-12 is for Live 3. Send monitor path signal to appropriate aux

  • Control room sources 'Assign 1' and 'Assign 2' are those respective headphone mixes for monitoring

  • Aux 9-10 and 11-12 are configured as pre-fader in scene memory 1

Internal FX

• • Aux sends 1-8 are routed to internal effects 1-8 mono inputs

  • Effect outputs are assigned to pairs of channels on fader layer 49-72, which are routed to ‘Stereo’

Additional Information

c0oL facts

• • When using external mic preamps, the line level output of the preamp must enter the console at a line input, such as the 'insert return' of the channel. Engage the 'Insert' switch near the preamp to override the internal preamp.

  • DM2000 connects to Pro Tools over 3 ADAT optical cables for a total of 24 channels. Pro Tools is the master clock, so the DM2000 should be set to sync over slot 1 ADAT. The DM2000 will report 'wrong clock' until the Pro Tools interfaces are initialised upon launch.

  • 8 channels of analog Pro Tools i/o is available on patch bay 

  • The DM2000 ‘Stereo’ path output is available on the patch bay as Omni Out 1-2
