Connect audio connections as shown in the diagram below. Toslink Optical cables must be
connected from the ADAT Out port of the Lexicon Studio LDI-12T card to an ADAT In port of the
Digital 328 and vice versa. Coaxial digital S/PDIF cables can also be connected from the Lexicon
Studio LDI-12T S/PDIF output to the Digital 328 S/PDIF input and vice versa. The recommended
method of synchronization is to utilize the Wordclock Out feature of the Digital 328.
The ADAT connections allow digital transfer of either direct output for input channels 1-16 to the
Lexicon Studio LDI-12T card, or the Digital 328’s 8 Group outputs. The S/PDIF output from the
console can be assigned to either the Mix output or 1 of 3 stereo auxiliary outputs. The 328
S/PDIF Input can be configured to be a digital Stereo Input or as a digital 2 Track Return.

To configure the Digital 328 as the wordclock master, enter the 328 Menu pages by pressing the
<MENU> button on the right hand side of the LCD display. Using the encoder beneath the
display, scroll up or down until the ‘Clock Source Sel’ menu is highlighted, and press <ENTER>.
Here, either the internal 44.1kHz clock or the internal 48kHz clock must be selected, depending
on the sampling rate at which work is to be done. Press <ENTER> to set the sample rate and
<MENU> to return to the menu pages.
To ensure that the Digital 328 Tape Ports are set to ADAT to work with the Lexicon Studio LDI-
12T, enter the 328 Menu pages by pressing the <MENU> button on the right hand side of the
LCD display. Using the encoder beneath the display, scroll up or down until the ‘Tape Port Select’
menu is highlighted. Press <ENTER> and keep pressing the Up cursor arrow until the
‘<Tape Ch17-24 >’ menu page is displayed. Using the encoder set the Bank Source to ADAT.
Press the Down cursor arrow once, to set the wordlength. The Lexicon Studio LDI-12T is capable
of 24-bit recording, and so for optimum results, 24-bit wordlength can be selected here. If your
audio sequencer software does not allow 24-bit recording, 20-bit or 16-bit should be selected.
The sequencer manuals should be consulted for further information. The wordlength is set on
the 328 with the encoder. Press <ENTER> to set the wordlength and <MENU> to return to
the menu pages.

The 328 S/PDIF input can be routed to any one of the following inputs:
Stereo Input 1;
Stereo Input 2;
FX Return 1;
FX Return 2;
2 Track Tape Return,
provided that the AES/EBU input has not already been assigned to that input. Commonly the
Lexicon Studio LDI-12T S/PDIF output would best be routed to Stereo Input 1 or the 2 Track
Tape Return input.
Press <MENU> to enter the menu pages, scroll through the pages until the ‘SPDIF I/P Setup’ is
highlighted and press <ENTER>. Using the encoder, select the destination for the S/PDIF
input, press <ENTER> to set and <MENU> to return to the menu pages.

source from the ADATDATA 12T input or the SPDIF 12T Input as required using the method
described above.
