The only difference between examples 2 and 3 is that digital signals are now 
looped back to the device of their origin. This does not require any additional 
settings when it comes to word clock sync—the configuration steps in example 
2 ensure that all digital audio streams (including any looped back connections) 
are already synchronized. 

Attention

:  Digital audio devices are commonly “cross-linked” (i.e., the output 

of device A is connected to the input of device B while the output of device B is 

connected to the input of device A) to allow synchronization, audio, and other 

data to be shared between both devices.  There is no problem with creating such 

loops within your digital equipment. However, doing so opens the possibility of 

inadvertently  creating  loud,  distorted  “feedback  loops”  that  can  damage  your 

speakers.  When cross-linking equipment, be careful to avoid feedback loops 

by  planning  your  signal  paths  carefully  and  avoiding  situations  in  which  one 

audio signal will be passed back and forth between two (or more) devices in 

an endless loop.

Accessing the Control Panel

The control panel allows users to configure various parameters and features of 
ProFire Lightbridge.

Windows XP users can access the control panel by double-clicking the M-Audio 
icon in your computer’s system tray.
