003 & 003 Rack Getting Started Guide70
To set up a send to an external digital effects
device (digital sends/returns only):
1 Connect the digital inputs and outputs of the
external signal processor to the appropriate dig-
ital connectors (the S/PDIF RCA connectors or
the Optical ports) on 003 or 003 Rack.
2 In Pro Tools, choose Setup > Hardware.
3 Under Optical Format, do one of the follow-
ing:
• If the external effects device is a S/PDIF de-
vice and connected to the S/PDIF RCA
jacks, select ADAT (if the selected sample
rate is 44.1 or 48 kHz) or None (if the se-
lected sample rate is 88.2 or 96 kHz). The
RCA jack is only active when Optical
S/PDIF is not enabled.
• If the external effects device is a S/PDIF de-
vice and connected to the Optical ports, se-
lect S/PDIF.
• If the external effects device is an ADAT
Optical compatible device, select ADAT.
4 Choose Internal from the Clock Source pop-
up menu.
5 Click the Sample Rate pop-up menu and select
a sample rate. The sample rate of the Pro Tools
session and external digital device must match.
If necessary, change the sample rate of the digi-
tal device.
6 Click OK.
Monitoring and Recording
from Alternate Sources
003 and 003 Rack provide a pair of additional
inputs for monitoring and recording from an ex-
ternal sound source such as a CD player or tape
deck. This alternate input is equipped with 1/4-
inch TRS connectors and is designed for input
signals with a nominal operating level of
+4 dBu.
To monitor an alternate sound source through 003
or 003 Rack Monitor Outputs:
1 Connect the outputs of the external device to
the left and right Aux In connectors on the back
panel of 003 or 003 Rack.
2 Route the signal to the Monitor Output by
pressing the Aux In switch (located on the top
panel of 003, and on the front panel of 003
Rack) so that it is enabled (lit).
3 If you want to monitor the signal through the
Alternate Monitor Outputs, press the Alt CR
switch. Any tracks within Pro Tools that are sent
to the Monitor Outputs will not be heard.
4 Adjust Monitor Output or Headphone Output
levels to audition the input.
You can use the I/O Setup dialog (Setup >
I/O) to label the inputs and outputs you are
using in Pro Tools LE and identify them as
inserts or sends when working in a session.
See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for de-
tails.
Aux In for alternate sound sources
To monitor an external device through the
Alternate Source Inputs, 003 or 003 Rack
must be powered on.
