v-studio 700r monitor connections
if u buy the 700c and 700r with a pair of ma-15d monitors can you use the optical connections on both the ma-15d and 700r for monitoring?or do you use the analog connections? another question i have is can you buy two pairs of ma-15d monitors and conect them to the 700r in a sorround sound set up ?and how?

Apparrently you can use both connections. I'm not sure about the surround set up. It does have a subwoofer out. Optical SPDIF is somewhat different from optical ADAT I beleive. I don't think you get 8 channels with optical SPDIF, I beleive it's 2. The subwoofer circuit is obviously built in to the monitor and splits off there. The optical in/out on the V 700R is ADAT- 8 channels so I'm not sure if that's an option.

Hey Scott,
I'm just curious about your recommendation:
"You're better off using the analog connections for your monitors. "
I definitely respect your experience with the VS-700 and was wondering what you feel the advantage is.
Ive been using The DIG1 connection to my DS-7 speakers.
Thank you.

Digital 1 is not optical it's AES/EBU.

Dig it.
Thanks Scott.
Crg, DIG1 also has a Coax connection.
Thats all, just curious. I dont want to jack the thread away form the OPs question.
Thanks for your time.

The Coax is a SPDIF, it's all on topic.

You can do zero latency input monitoring through the Main, Sub, or Digital outs (either SPDIF or AES/EBU). You can monitor stuff already in SONAR throgh the Main, Sub, Digital 1, Digital 2 (ADAT), or any of the 10 1/4" outs.
To mix in Surround you would connect 5 monitors and one sub to the 1/4" outputs, so you could use 5 MA-25Ds and a sub for that.

I'm just curious,
If you just payed a butt load of money for Roland's AD converters, why would you bypass them and send that digital signal into a (probably) crappier AD converter. I find that the 700r sounds amazing. The pre amps and AD are stellar
