Connecting Presonus Eureka to Digi003 rack

[FrenchFrog]

Hey

I'm quite new in using gears like that and I'm feeling f*ckin' retarded asking this so I hope you won't be nasty with me haha!
How can I connect a Presonus Eureka preamp to a Digi003? I guess using spdif is a good way?

Here is how I see things...

Mic -> Presonus In
Presonus spdif Out -> Digi003 spdif In
Presonus Out -> Digi003 In

Do I have to use Word Clock?

Also if I wanna record a bass through a DI, how use the compressor of the Presonus?

Thanks for your help!!!

No, the Eureka doesn't have an SPDIF connection. You would connect a balanced 1/4" TRS cable from the eureka TRS output to inputs 5, 6, 7 or 8 on the back of the 003

no clocking is needed

not trying to be a smartass but maybe RTFM?

the compressor should be active when you plug in to the instrument input on the front of the unit unless the bypass button is engaged

Yeah it does as an option.

So, to record a bass through preamp, no need to use a DI?

I guess I was assuming you didn't have the card.. but no if you have an instrument input you don't need a DI
