CHAPTER 3: GETTING READY TO
RECORD
3.0 POWERING-UP
After all connections are made, turn on the power of each ADAT in
the system, and then turn on the BRC. Its main power switch is
located on the far left side of the back panel, when you are facing the
front panel.
When power is first turned on, the BRC checks to see how many
slave ADAT units are connected to it. If at least one ADAT is
connected, the BRC automatically becomes the master and assigns an
ID number to each of the connected ADAT slaves. The ID numbers
are assigned in ascending order according to the order that the slave
units are connected (see section 2.1A and figure 1). While assigning
ID numbers, the BRC’s display will count the number of ADATs it
recognizes. For example: if you have four ADATs connected (32
tracks), the BRC will recognize each one at a time, and the display will
look like this:
ALESIS BRC
01 ADAT slaves
ALESIS BRC
02 ADAT slaves
ALESIS BRC
03 ADAT slaves
ALESIS BRC
04 ADAT slaves
The BRC will continue searching for ADATs until it is sure there are
no more connected. Eventually, after about five seconds, the BRC will
come on-line, and the display will look like this:
ALESIS BRC

After assigning ID numbers, the BRC queries each of the devices to
find out its current status.
