Ran into an interesting issue (problem) with the Masterlink and thought I should run this by you. The setup I am considering is:
1) Panasonic DA7 2-trk AES in/out connected to Masterlink AES in/out
2) RME HDSP 9652 2-trk spdif in/out connected to Masterlink spdif in/out
* This way I could record to the Masterlink from the DA7 and monitor playback utilizing AES - while
* I could transfer audio between the DAW and the Masterlink via spdif
Background:
When I only insert the AES cables between my DA7 and RME HDSP 9652 (No spdif cable inserted) both units lock up in sync. I can record a digital signal to the hard drive as expected
When I only insert the spdif cables between my Masterlink and RMS HDSP 9652 (No AES cables inserted) both units lock up in sync. I can record a digital signal to the hard drive as expected
The problem:
When I insert both the AES and SPDIF cables using the above cable configuration NO SIGNAL IS PRESENT BETWEEN THE MASTERLINK and the DA7 or RME HDSP 9652?
According to the Masterlink manual, both AES and spdif can be used as input simultaneously and could be a problem if a digital signal (audio) is found on both simultaneously. Do you have any clue to what is going on? Any question?
Thanks again,
