24/96 AD Converter 2376
Connections
Input: SYNC INPUT
The SYNC input allows you to feed an external signal into
the converter to control the sample rate. Connect an S/P-DIF
output from your master source (e.g. sound card) to the
SYNC input. The 2376 is not equipped to accept Word Clock
for synchronization.
The yellow SYNC LOCK LED illuminates when a valid sync
signal is present at the SYNC input, and the converter is
automatically synchronized to the external sample rate.
The internal oscillators are automatically disabled when an
external clock signal is present to prevent interference. If
the sync signal is no longer present (e.g. in the case of a
dropout), the converter automatically reverts to the sample
rate selected via the buttons (see page 9).
Additional input with single-channel devices
If the 24/96 AD Converter is installed in a single-channel
SPL device such as the GainStation 1, Channel One or Track
One, the second channel of the stereo converter can be
used via the additional analog AD converter input on the
device‘s rear panel. This allows you to „daisy-chain“ two
preamps or channel strips through one converter, or route
any other single-channel analog signal to the converter‘s
second channel. For additional information please see the
manual for the SPL device you are upgrading.
Double S/P-DIF output: RCA and optical
The converted signal is routed in parallel to the RCA and
optical outputs. The digital signal is transferred in profes-
sional S/P-DIF format without sample rate data in the status
block.
We recommend that you check the documentation on your
receiving device to ensure that it can process the profes-
sional S/P-DIF format (some devices only accept consumer
format). If your receiving device does not identify the
sample rate, it most likely needs the status-block data
and does not automatically recognize the incoming sample
rate.
