Author Topic: Feeding a DAX 602 into a CP-200 Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-17-2010 04:39 PM                     I have a few CP-200 still in service and theater personel want me to removing one because it is approching 20 years old. I prefer to keep it in use and it has had enough mods to still be of use in this day and age... although it is certainly overkill for running D-Cinema, DTS, one optical in, and pre-show. What is the best way to feed the output of a DAX 602 into the CP-200? Would it be through the use of the DTS 6D adaptor board...? OR.... Create a special format for that input using one of the now unused mag inputs so theater personel don't have to switch the cable on the DTS adaptor board? I am not sure of the 1 volt/ 100mv input adjuster structures the gain properly. I am presently going in through the DTS board until decisions are made. Thanks in advance for any helpful insight... Again, I prefer to keep the 200 in place if at all possible. MArk  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

I'll order one of those boards on Monday. I am going in that way now... just unpluging the DTS and pluging in the output of the DAX 602... Mark  |  IP: Logged
