Help me expand my setup!

Post by Shot »

Hi all!

I'm expanding my studio setup, just bought a new desk (Trident 8T-24), and I want to set it up alongside my older desk (16 ch vintage A&H MOD3). In this setup I'll have 40 channels in mix. But... huh...

I also need to expand my creamware setup for more I/Os. I currently have Luna2 with I/O expansion card (total of 2 Zlink and 2 Adat I/O), A16ultra converter and additional Swissonic DA24 8ch converter (not connected yet!). That's 24ch out right now. I still need 16 output channels!

What would you reccomend me to buy? I was thinking another A16 (since it's also Zlink-able) with some Scope project /Pulsar 2. Is it possible if I connect Pulsar2 to my Luna to loose connection with Luna's I/O expansion? I'm thinking not, but I still want to be sure so if please any of you could confirm it'll be okay? :)
Should I go for Classic option, Plus option or Zlink option?

In this setup I'll end up using 3 separate converter boxes. Will there be sync problems? Do I need to buy sync plate for Luna? Is syncplate board a separate clock generator or it just routes sync signals through BNC cable? Would I need it?

Any help is much appriciated!
Thanks!!!!

sure you can add another card. no, there won't be sync problems if the settings are correct. :wink: all i/o will function just fine.

a sync plate might be good if you are going to clock all your digital devices in the studio to one high quality clock via wordclock. if you only need to clock the converter boxes and the computer, you can probably live without one...
