Introduction
Besides the usage as explained in the examples of this manual, there are of course other
possibilities to make the SERAPH M2 functionality fit to the specific needs of the daily work
in the studio. The following chapter explains all system settings of the SERAPH M2 providing
example configurations and notes on their meaning.
On the Windows

task bar, you can find the symbol for the SERAPH M2 manager. It is
opened with a single click allowing to call up ”SERAPH M2” and then ’Clock Status’ or directly
’Settings’.
If several SERAPH M2 are installed, all the entries will appear in the corresponding amount,
numbered with ’1: SERAPH M2’, ’2:SERAPH M2’ and so on.

(AES/EBU 1 to 8, WordClock or SyncBus) or which samplerate is set up for the internal clock.

the samplerate in kHz will displayed. If no clock could be retrieved, the red LED will light up.
Additionally it will read ’error’. If in the settings of the SERAPH M2, this connector was chosen
as clock source, this section of the table will be highlighted in red. The connector, whose clock
is actually used, will be highlighted in white. If the SERAPH M2 is configured to be SyncBus
