TASCAM FW-1884 Setup Guide 5

In the monitor mix mode, the fourth function key on

the top row is used for a special function. When this

key (marked as

MAST 0dB in the MONITOR row of

labels) is pressed, the master fader is moved to the

unity gain (0 dB) position.

Individual channels can be set to unity gain by press-

ing and holding the

SHIFT key together with the

channel’s

SEL key.

The headphone level (

PHONES jack on rear panel) is

adjusted with the

PHONES LEVEL control.

Inputs can be soloed (including pre-fader solo (PFL)

using the

PFL key—monitor mix only—this PFL

feature does not apply to the DAW solo function)

using the module

SOLO keys, and muted, using the

module

MUTE keys. Adjust the solo signal level with

the

SOLO rotary control (pre-MONITOR and

PHONES).

In this mode, stand-alone MIDI THRU routing is also

possible. See "MIDI Routing" on page 11 for details

of how to set this up.

The IEEE 1394 standard and the FW-1884

The IEEE 1394 standard allows high-speed commu-

nication between devices. It is sometimes referred to

as FireWire or as i.LINK.

Because of the high bandwidth (up to 400Mbps), it is

suitable for applications such as multi-channel audio,

as in the case of the FW-1884.

IEEE 1394 connections use a “daisy-chain” architec-

ture, and devices can be linked together, with a maxi-

mum length of 72m (about 230 feet) in the chain, and

4.5m (about 15 feet) between any two devices.

NOTE

The FW-1884 is supplied with a 2 m (6-foot) cable. If you

wish to use a longer cable, the length should not be

more than 4.5 m (15 feet) and the cable should be the

best possible quality available to avoid data loss, which

results in audio dropouts.

Many devices can be connected on a IEEE 1394 net-

work. No termination is necessary on any device, and

devices identify themselves uniquely on the system,

so no ID switches, etc. need to be set. It is therefore

possible to connect the FW-1884 to your computer,

and to use the unused FireWire port on the FW-1884

to connect another IEEE 1394 device, such as a fader

expansion unit, or a hard disk which can be used by

the computer (though this latter may result in loss of

audio quality when heavy I/O is taking place, so this

is not recommended).

The standard allows for “hot-swapping”. In other

words, you do not have to turn off a device before

connecting or disconnecting it from the IEEE 1394

chain.

NOTE

Despite the fact that you can connect and disconnect

the FW-1884 to and from the computer with power

turned on, we strongly recommend that all connections

and disconnections are made with power to both the

FW-1884 and the computer turned off. If the DAW soft-

ware is running when connections are made or broken,

it may result in your computer crashing, or “freezing”

and possible loss of data.

There are two types of connector that may be used

with IEEE 1394 devices. One is a 6-pin connector,

and the other is a 4-pin connector (the difference

between them is that the 6-pin connector carries

power which can power external devices).
