The rules in the digital audio world
Connecting digital audio devices the following 3 simple rules have to be
maintained.
1.
All devices have to be synchronized with each other. (Using the
clock)
2.
There can only be one! That is the device (the master) governing the
rate. All other devices have to look in on this rate (the clock) of the
master and are thereby slaves.
3.
Digital audio connections mostly include a clock. (S/PDIF; ADAT or
AES/EBU). Besides that, the synchronization can be ensured using
wordclock- or superclock connections. But within a compound of
digital audio devices, the clock has to be the same – everywhere.
Let’s take a look at 4 simple examples on how to connect the UCON CX
digitally.
Example 1 – Connection via optical S/PDIF port
In this example the digital output of the UCON CX is connected with the
digital input of the CD-RW device. The audio cable transmits the clock
signal simultaneously. In order to operate the CD-RW device
synchronously with the UCON CX, the clock setting „Internal Clock“ must
be active. The UCON CX is now clock master. The CD-RW device must
be configured as clock slave.
