    2 track A input [2TR IN A] and Slot 1,2 or 3. For example: it is possible to select the WR-AESS card as the wordclock source of the WR-DA7. The DA7 can be synchronized with the digital audio signals being input on Channels 1/2 of the WR-AESS card.
  • Page 6 The WR-DA7 allows ON/OFF of the 75-Ohm terminator on the wordclock input. ON: Is selected when the WR-DA7 is used as a wordclock master or as a slave at the end of the wordclock connections (terminated at 75 Ohm). (A clock output synchronized with DA7 is generated at the word clock’s output.)
