Main Menu – CLOCK - SMUX modes
Although the PULSE16 DX always works using the 16 analog input and
output channels, the number channels is determined on the sample
frequency and the SMUX mode:
SMUX/1
The SMUX/1 mode allows sampling rates from 32kHz up to 48kHz.
SMUX/2
When using higher sampling rates in SMUX/2 mode (64kHz to 96kHz),
the digital channels are being split into channel pairs (
S
ignal
MU
ltiple
X
ing). For this reason, the number of channels is reduced by
half. To overcome this limitation the digital ADAT I/O’s of the PULSE16
DX are available as a double configuration. So, you can run all 16
analog inputs and outputs at sample rated up to 96kHz in SMUX/2
mode. This also applies for MADI and Dante.
SMUX/4
At even higher sampling rates from 128kHz up to 192kHz the SMUX/4
mode is used. In this mode, an analog channel is being split up to four
digital channels.Using the MADI interface all 64 x 64 digital channels
are used for 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs. In other words:
A single PULSE16 DX unit can handle all full 16 inputs and outputs at
192kHz without any limitation of the total channelcount when using
MADI or Dante. When using the ADAT interface the channelcount is
reduced to 8x8 due to the bandwith limitation of the ADAT protocol.
