    Tascam ATR 60 8 - Is it worth it? Help with functionality, please

    Ouch. I know why you and me are confused. Its lingvistical problem. In english you have terms like peak amplitude, rms amplitude and so on. But in my language we have "amplitude" (which means peak value of sine wave), "RMS value" and so on, so sorry about that. Yes, Fluke has limited bandwidth...

    I think I am writing clearly. I do not do anything with ATR input channel sensitivity for now. Nothing. I just try to tell you that my 0VU input level is 1.4Vrms. It was measured between 2 and 3 pin of XLR connenctor. When I apply ES-50 SMPTE signal to THIS input, on my VU meter I can see...

    I am using balanced inputs/outputs, Fluke 177 True RMS Meter and oscilloscope. I was talking about RMS value of input signal, not amplitude. So I checked and previous owner set it to approx. 1.4Vrms. I do not know why, I recalibrate it but right now it is not important. If I set input level...

    Yes, as I said in PM, thank you so much it really helps a lot! Now REC button is working. I still have some issues but I feel that I am so close to success. Really close. 0. When I power up ES-50/51 I have GEN OUT signal upcounting without any button pressed. It is present right after power up...

    It would be so nice! Maybe there is some issue about DIR+- signals and when SET-UP is not done properly REC function will not work.

    I cannot say right now, but I will check it. Hovever, it is not a big problem for me. In the worst case I insert there a voltage divider :) User manual says something about trimmer for setting right level... Bigger problem is REC functionality and SE-UP error :(

    My wiring: and I tried this: Tally supply -> SS TACHO+ -> FF TACHO- -> HH DIR+ -> K DIR- -> RR Results: 1. After first power on I could control ATR transport commands via ES-50/51 module, except REC function. When I pressed REC and after that PLAY nothing happened. REC button...

    OK - I think that DIRECTION+- signal is Up/Down signal or K pin on Accessory connector. Direction information is on Q output of U3 flip-flop. This information goes to U/D signal on remote board and to ACCESSORY connector. So DIRECTION+ will be U/D signal and DIRECTION- will be ground. In a ES-50...

    Sorry guys. Sorry, for my late response. I had lot work to do, but.. I bought the machine because everything works - except one thing. I cound not try ATR / ES50-51 connection because the master cable was wrong - it had ACCESSORY connector and some cannon 9pin connector. So I use this ACCESSORY...

    Tascam ATR 60 8 - Is it worth it? Help with functionality, please

    Yes, I think that I have a good cable. One side is ACCESORY plug and second one is Master plug on ES-50. Between ES-50 and ES-51 is common serial cable.. Thats OK. But you know that feeling you want to try something and you cannot, so only you can do is talking about it :D If I will find a...

    Great explanation, thank you so much! Now it is a more clear for me. May I have a few questions about ES-50/51 unit? Now I understand, it so sad that I will lost one track, but is there a big crosstalk from timestamps to lets say track 7? I mean, if track no.7 can be still used for audio...

    Thank you and yes! I have already ordered RTM SM911 tape, I think it is suitable for it. What do you think about using ES50/51 module? It can be used or I need more special cable? Can I do some editting with it or it is a matter of RC-65 for example? Thanks!
