Hey Folks,
Going back to some digital sync problems in between the R680 and some preamps ...
So, I bought a new shielded coax cable, and tested it successfully in between my soundcard (EMU 1616M) and my JoeMeek TwinQ. Here, everything works as it should ...
I then went back to the DR680, and then again, it was impossible to have the two of them working together.
Tried a bit of everything, but unsuccessfully (every frequencies again, moving the cable slightly, tried different settings within the menus of the DR680, especially the REC mix channel INPUT, the I/O input for the channel 5/6 and the digital output (AES/SPDIF) ....)
I contacted Tascam Europe (Germany) this morning ... I start to wonder if my unit is not faulty or doesn't have something wrong going on, as I find very strange that connecting the two devices together worked perfectly fine for Kirkd, and not for me:
I used a twinQ for a couple of months with a 680 and had no issues. So it has been too long to remember exactly how the meek works but verify that you have selected the output you want IE: SPDIF (or AES can't remember if the twinQ has aes out). I had used a coaz rca output on the twin Q and never had a lock issue. Check you cable maybe try another to be sure? BUt I can assure you that the Joe Meek will work as digital source for the 680.
Does anyone heard already of some faulty digital inputs on the DR680 which have been repaired successfully by Tascam support ? My unit still has 11 months of warranty to go ...
Thanks again !
Best,
Marc.
