Power Supply

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Copyright

• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law.
• When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subject to the restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others.

Memo 22

In some cases, it may be possible to make settings on the device connected via R-BUS to disable front panel operations.

1 PHANTOM Buttons 1-8

When connecting the XLR input jack to a device that requires phantom power, turn this on. When phantom power is being supplied, the PHANTOM indicator will light.

Supplying phantom power to a dynamic mic or an audio playback device will cause malfunctions. Carefully read the owner's manual of the device you are using, and leave this turned off except when connecting a device that requires phantom power (such as a condenser mic).

When phantom power is turned on/off, high-volume noise may be output, which can damage your amp or speaker system. Be sure to turn down the volume of audio equipment before you turn the phantom power on/off.

Turn phantom power off if nothing is connected to the XLR input jacks. Also, to minimize noise, we recommend that you make the PAD indicator light and turn the INPUT knobs that adjust the input sensitivity all the way to the “+4dBu” position.

2 PAD Buttons 1-8

Switch the input sensitivity (adjustment range of the INPUT knob) for INPUT1-8.

When the PAD indicator is lit: +4dBu - - 44dBu

When the PAD indicator is dark: -16 dBu- -64 dBu

3 PEAK Indicators 1-8

This will light when the input level of INPUT1-8 is excessive.

The PEAK indicator will light at the level at which the waveform clips (distorts). The ideal level is when the sensitivity is raised as far as possible without causing the PEAK indicator to light. If you wish to make more precise adjustments, watch the level meter of the device connected via the R-BUS connector as you make adjustments.

4 INPUT Sensitivity Knobs 1-8

Adjust the input sensitivity for INPUTs 1-8.

If you rotate the knobs, or push the PAD buttons while the MANUAL indicator is lighted, the value currently indicated by the knob will be put in effect. Previous values will remain in effect for knobs left untouched.

5 MANUAL Button

Selects whether operation of the front panel PHANTOM buttons / PAD buttons / INPUT sensitivity knobs will be enabled or disabled. If you want to enable operation of these buttons/knobs, make the MANUAL indicator light.

If you wish to remotely control the ADA-7000 from a device connected via the R-BUS connector, make the MANUAL indicator go dark.

6 CLOCK SOURCE Button

Selects the source of the sampling clock.

Turn down the volume on all devices connected to the R-BUS (RMDB2) connector, RCA output jacks, and XLR output connectors (on the rear panel) before operating this button.

R-BUS (RMDB2):

The ADA-7000 will operate according to the sampling clock of the device (e.g., digital mixer or digital recorder) connected to the rear panel R-BUS connector. When a clock signal is input from the R-BUS connector, the R-BUS indicator will light, and the SAMPLING FREQ indicator for that sampling frequency will light. If no clock is being input from the R-BUS connector, the R-BUS indicator will blink. If you have selected “R-BUS (RMDB2)” as the sampling clock of the ADA-7000, you must set the master clock of the connected device to be other than the R-BUS to which that ADA-7000 is connected.

WORD CLOCK:

The ADA-7000 will operate according to the word clock signal that is connected to the rear panel WORD CLOCK connector. When a clock is being input from the WORD CLOCK connector, the WORD CLOCK indicator will light, and the SAMPLING FREQ indicator for that frequency will light. If no clock is being input from the WORD CLOCK connector, the WORD CLOCK indicator will blink. If you have selected "WORD CLOCK" as the sampling clock of the ADA-7000, you must set the master clock of the connected device to be the R-BUS to which that ADA-7000 is connected.

INTERNAL:

Select this when you want the ADA-7000 to operate on its own internal clock. Use the SAMPLING FREQ button to set the sampling frequency. If you have selected "INTERNAL" as the sampling clock of the ADA-7000, you must set the master clock of the connected device to be the R-BUS to which that ADA-7000 is connected.

7 SAMPLING FREQ Button

If CLOCK SOURCE is set to "INTERNAL," this selects the sampling frequency at which the ADA-7000 will operate.

The ADA-7000 allows you to select a sampling frequency of 96kHz . This is in order to support 96kHz compatible equipment that will become available in the future. At present (December 1999), no devices with a 96kHz compatible R-BUS connector are available. For details, please contact your nearest Roland Service Center, authorized Roland distributor, or your dealer.

8 POWER Switch

This turns the power of the ADA-7000 on/off.

Rear Panel

1 AC IN

Connect the included power cable here.

To avoid malfunction, connect only the power supply cord that was supplied with the unit.

2 WORD CLOCK IN/OUT Connectors

IN:

When supplying a sampling clock from an external device to the ADA-7000, input the WORDCLOCK signal here. Use this when you want the reference clock to be another device that outputs a high-precision sampling clock, or when synchronizing to a device that has only a WORDCLOCK OUT.

CLOCK SOURCE: WORD CLOCK

• If you have selected "WORD CLOCK" as the sampling clock of the ADA-7000, you must set the master clock of the connected device to the R-BUS to which that ADA-7000 is connected.
• If the master clock of the device connected to the R-BUS connector is the word clock signal, you must select "R-BUS" as the sampling clock of the ADA-7000.

TERMINATOR Switch:

Turn this on if the ADA-7000 is the last device in the word clock signal chain. Normally you will leave this turned on. Turn this off only if you are using a relay connector to distribute the word signal to other devices.

OUT:

This outputs the sampling clock on which the ADA-7000 is operating. Use this when you want another device to synchronize to the sampling clock on which the ADA-7000 is operating.

3 R-BUS (RMDB2) Connector

This is an 8-in/8-out 24 bit digital audio connector. Connect it to another device that has an R-BUS connector (e.g., Roland digital mixer or Roland digital recorder).

Connect the R-BUS (RMDB2) connector only to an R-BUS equipped device. To avoid malfunctions, never connect it to a SCSI connector, an RS-232C connector, or a parallel connector, even if the connector has the same shape. Use a special R-BUS (RMDB2) cable to make connections.

RMDB II, RMDB2 and R-BUS are the same standard of Roland corporation.

4 RCA OUTPUT Connectors 1-8 (-10 dBu)

Connect an RCA phono type plug here to output the same analog signal (+4dBu) as from the XLR output (converted to consumer level).

5 XLR/TRS INPUT Connectors 1-8

Connect either an XLR type or TRS phone plug (not both) here to input an analog signal. Phantom power can be supplied to the XLR input jacks. To turn the phantom power on/off, use the front panel PHANTOM buttons.

• Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any device other than condenser microphones that require phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio playback devices, or other devices that don't require such power. Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone you intend to use by referring to the manual that came with it.

(This instrument's phantom power: 48 V DC, 14 mA/ch Max)

6 XLR OUTPUT Connectors 1-8

Connect an XLR type plug here to output the analog signal (+4dBu)

An Example of Connection

As an example, we will explain how to connect a Roland VM-7200 mixing processor.

• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
• This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR) type input jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown below. Make connections after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.
