This example shows how to connect a greater number of DAW tracks to an analogue mixing
desk for mixdown. The 10 analogue outputs of a Scarlett 18i20 interface are connected to desk
Channels 1 to 10. Its OPTICAL OUT port is connected to an ADAT IN port of a Scarlett OctoPre
Dynamic with ADAT
>
LINE mode selected. The OctoPre’s LINE OUTPUTS are then connected to
Channels 11 to 18 of the desk.
The Scarlett 18i20 would normally be the sync master in this situation, so its clock source is set to
INTERNAL (via Focusrite Control). The clock source on the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is set to ADAT,
so it is synchronised to the 18i20 via the ADAT optical connection.
The above channel counts are applicable at 44.1/48 kHz sample rate; four channels of audio could be
transferred from the 18i20 to the OctoPre at 88.2/96 kHz.
