Title: Studer A800 Mk1 Sync Issues ?
Post by: broncoblair on December 13, 2016, 05:08:11 AM

Hey guys ! New here but have read posts over the years. Seems like the sort of information I need may be better suited for this forum as opposed to GS or Tape Op.

So we have a Studer A800. I was told it was a MK1 but modified to a MK3 when I bought it. I’m starting to find that this was a lie. The only thing MK3 about it is the transport and headstack. Everything else seems to be MK1… So we have tried to Sync the machine to a Lynx TimeLine for use with Pro Tools. We wired everything up, but after a bunch of trial and error, we are finding there is no tac coming out of the HD78 DSUB connector on the back. We verified there was tac on the card however. I’ve heard mixed things about this. I’ve heard that I need different transport cards… I’ve heard they never connected that part of the DSUB for sync on the MK1’s as well. Anyone gotten a MK1 to sync to timecode ?
