AMBus FireWire card
– User’s Guide
Before Starting
We’ve done everything possible to ensure full compatibility between Apogee’s FireWire technology and
the Legacy interfaces that support the AMBus FireWire card, but there are certain operational limitations
of the AMBus FireWire card that users should be aware of.
Sample Rate Selection
The sample rate of both the AD-8000 and Trak2 must be set manually to match the sample rate at which
the FireWire driver of the connected computer is running.
Sample Rate Range
The AD-8000 does not support sample rates of 88k2-96k, even though these rates are listed in the
FireWire driver’s sample rate selection drop-down menus.
Clock Source
The clock source of the Apogee interface must be selected from the AD-8000 or Trak2’s front panel.
Software switching of clock source is not supported.
