I have been using 1824usb for a few years with no issues
I have now added an 1824c with the intention of expanding the number of inputs by using ADAT I am having no joy at all Both units work ok independently But not together with an optical lead Mac OS Mojave Logic x 10.15 Universal control sees both units I set one as master and other as slave 48k locked Setting shown on slave And 48k internal on Master But I can’t get them working correctly Any one have a step by step for dummies?? Thanks |
First check your fiber cable. They can break easily. Second, and probably the real issue, is the Behringer ada8000 and ada8200. I have 2 8000s and 2 8200s and all of them had the transformer go out. It WILL happen with every unit. There are tons of forums addressing this issue. They look like they are working, but you will get little to no signal to the 1824. I picked up a used Digimax for $100 and haven't had any issues.

I just purchased the 1824c and was unable to get the ADAT output to work at all. I have a Benchmark DAC1 with ADAT input that works fine with my old MOTU 828 MKII ADAT output and the same cable. What the heck? What is Presonus going to do about this? Is this a software or hardware issue? I read that some people are able to get the ADAT output to work by changing sample rates but this never worked for me.

i am currently in discussion with presonus about this issue, im a lucky 1 that asked before i purchased the 2nd unit, but according to the tech support, the 1824c was not designed to be daisy chained to another 1824 etc, it is for inputs only, i gather that the adat out is not quite what it seems and designed to only work with the DigiMax DP88 ( which has been discontinued! ).
I am now at the point of looking at other pre amps to connect up so if anyone has done this and has a success story, that would be great. or if anyone knows where i can get a DigiMax DP88 for not silly money in the uk then please let me know. |
Hello how to connect 2 1824c's together. using Universal Control 4.1
Start computer with both 1824c's connected but turned off. with UC (Universal Control) running. Start your main 1824c. (note serial number in bottom right-hand corner) mine ends in (8). let light flash red, blue, red, blue. you can wait till the light settles on purple, but I never do. Set main 1824c to ADAT. Start your second 1824c. (note serial number in bottom right-hand corner) this one ends in (4). Both lights should flash for a second then turn blue. Set second 1824c to Internal {I use the serial numbers to keep track of which ones which. in UC} Before you can use both you must set the mixer in UC. From UC click the second 1824c (S#4 for me) {the one set to Internal} the mixer will come up. Set all faders from 1 to 8 to 0db or as close as you can get it, for me it's 0.01 db. [very tedious and a pain in the bleep]. And set balances as so: 1,3,5,7. to left and 2,4,6,8. to right. Then in the mix section ADAT 1/2 set fader 1 to 0db. balance left. ADAT 1/2 set fader 2 to 0db. balance right. ADAT 3/4 set fader 3 to 0db. balance left. ADAT 3/4 set fader 4 to 0db. balance right. ADAT 5/6 set fader 5 to 0db. balance left. ADAT 5/6 set fader 6 to 0db. balance right. ADAT 7/8 set fader 7 to 0db. balance left. ADAT 7/8 set fader 8 to 0db. balance right. You should be good to go. Just remember every time you start. Start computer, the main 1824c and let light blink red, blue, a couple times then start the second one. this should work with an 1824 mixed with a 1824c as well. |
1824 ... 1810 c work good together and use vban to get rolands via their usb interface to adat into s1

According to Presonus, 1824C is a stand alone unit and should not be put together to add more channels. I had this same issue, where I bought 2 -1824C to get more inputs but it never worked and I had issue after issue. The reason is, because both 1824C need to be plugged into a USB port in your computer to operate correctly. I went from 1824C, to purchasing Presonus Live 16, (which did not produce sound in Studio One) to purchasing another 1824C to loop together. Only to find out that Mic's on channels 9-16 on the new 1824C did not work. The solution was purchasing a Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre 8-channel Microphone Preamp and Hosa OPT-102 Fiber Optic Cable, to link the 1824C together with the Focusrite and you will have 16 Input Mic channels.

Appreciate your reply above as I am looking to expand as well. Was this setup hard to get working? I would love to add a couple additional room mics to my current 8 input setup while tracking drums.
