V3>SD 702: Double check my settings...

[manitouman]

Absolutely loving this combo! Thanks again for all the great information on settings and tips.

One more question: If I want to run the combo described above and plug in a MTII using the s/pdif coax from the V3 to the MTII, I will be using the MTII's a/d converter? Since I have the a/d turned off on the V3, running analog into the SD702 and using that a/d converter of the SD unit, I will be forced to use the a/d in the MTII when going digital out of the V3. Is this correct? Or because I have the a/d turned off on the V3, there is no digital out of the V3 because it's disabled.

Shit, I think I just confused myself...

In the situation you have described above, you would need to turn the V3's A/D converter back on. That way,you would be going analog out of the V3 via the XLR outs to the SD 702's XLR inputs (set to line level), and s/pdif out from your V3 (which uses both the V3's preamp and a/d converters) into your MTII's s/pdif input. The MTII would only be used as a bit bucket (the s/pdif input on the MTII bypasses it's own preamp and a/d converters using the ones from whichever device is feeding it, in this case your V3).

Hopefully this makes sense. If not, feel free to send me a PM and I can try my best to explain it more clearly.

I think I follow, I'm still running analog out to the SD702 because of the outputs from the V3 to the inputs of the SD 702. So even if I have the a/d "on" in the V3, I'm still sending an analog signal to the SD 702. The only way I'll send a digital signal to the SD 702 is via the digital output, which I'm going to use the MTII for. Does this sound about right?

You know once I sit and actually look at what I'm asking it's pretty much a no-brainer. Analog to analog and digital to digital. Can't do digital out to analog inputs, correct?

think of it this way...

if the a>d converter section is turned on every output on the V3 is active.
The analog outs , the coax out and the xlr aes out. You can use them all or in any combination.

I'm just spitballing here but with the addition of a aes>s/pdif converter you could run four channels off the same clock

run mics> v3> aes to s/pdif> MT
run the spdif output on the V3 to 702 and sync clock to s/pdif
run 2 more channels into 702 (sbd patch or whatever)

Much clearer on the subject now. Thanks Roger for the input. Tyler make it back okay? Let him know I've got some Galactic that I have no clue how to track or name a setlist.

Take care!
