Options
DSP – EQ+D for Record
Switches EQ and Dynamics of all input channels into the recording path. In case Loopback has
been activated the EQ and Dynamics of the Output channel are within the recording path. See
also chapter 27.5.
ADAT2 Output
This optical TOSLINK output can operate as ADAT or AES/SPDIF output.
AES Input Source
Defines the input for the AES (SPDIF) signal. 'AES' relates to the XLR socket, 'ADAT2' to the
second optical TOSLINK input.
AES Output Format
The SPDIF output can have the Channel Status Consumer (SPDIF) or Professional indication.
This setting is also valid when ADAT2 has been set as AES output. For further details please
refer to chapter 21.2.
Word Clock Out
The word clock output signal usually equals the current sample rate. Selecting
Single Speed
causes the output signal to always stay within the range of 32 kHz to 48 kHz. So at 96 kHz and
192 kHz sample rate, the output word clock is 48 kHz.
Clock Mode
Sample Rate
Used to set the current sample rate. This is the same setting as in the Audio MIDI Setup, just
added here for your convenience.
Clock Source
The unit can be configured to use its own clock (Internal = Master), or one of the input signals
(Word, AES, ADAT1 and ADAT2). If the selected source isn't available (Input Status No Lock),
the unit will change to the next available one (AutoSync). If none is available then the internal
clock is used. The current clock source is displayed as
Current
.
Input Status
Indicates for each input (Word, AES, ADAT1, ADAT2) whether there is a valid signal (Lock, No
Lock), or if there is a valid
and
synchronous signal (Sync). The third column shows the sample
frequency detected by the hardware (coarse recognition, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz etc.). In
Clock Mode
the clock reference is shown. See also chapter 38.1.
Bandwidth (only for the FireWire driver)
Allows to reduce the amount of bandwidth used on the FireWire bus. See chapter 38.4.
All channels
(default) activates all 30 input and output channels.
AES + ADAT1
disables channels 23–30 (ADAT2).
AES
activates all 12 analog channels plus AES.
Analog 1-8
activates only the first eight analog channels.
