Using the 1622 I/O
The 1622 I/O
™
is a 16-channel digital au-
dio interface which features 20-bit ana-
log-to-digital, and 24-bit digital-to-analog
converters for superior dynamic range, re-
duced noise floor, and the capability to
work with the full 24-bit mixing, editing,
processing, and mastering environment of
Pro Tools.
The 1622 I/O can be used in two ways:
■
As a 20-bit Audio Interface for a compat-
ible Pro Tools system
■
As a stand-alone 20-bit audio converter
This Guide explains the indicators and
connectors on the 1622 I/O. It also ex-
plains how to use it with a Digidesign
Pro Tools
system, or as an independent,
stand-alone 20-bit audio converter in your
studio.
If you are using the 1622 I/O with
Pro Tools, refer to the
Pro Tools TDM Hard-
ware Installation Guide
, which covers many
Pro Tools-specific aspects of the 1622 I/O.
