Buffer Size
*
1 The buffer size can be set from 64 to 8192 samples.
The higher buffer setting, the longer latency through
Konnekt. The default buffer size is set to 256
samples.
You should only increase the buffer size if you
experience problems such a clicks and pops in the
sound.*
* Relevant for PC version only. On Mac computers buffer size
is set in audio application. For instance in Logic Pro go to:
Audio/Hardware drivers to set the buffer size.
Note - clicks and pops in the sound may also derive from
clock problems. These should be resolved first.
Clock
2 Clock Master
With the Clock Master parameter you select which of
the Konnekt units in your setup that will act as
System Clock Master.
In a digital setup, it is important that all connected
devices run at the same sample rate. The Clock
Master device defines this sample rate, and
distributes a digital clock based on this sample rate to
all devices in the setup. There can be one, and only
one clock master in a digital setup, and you cannot
select your computer here; the clock master device is
always your audio interface. However, the Clock
Master device may sync to an external device. See
“Sync Source” below.
3 Sync Source
The Sync Source parameter determines to which
device the Clock Master should sync. The DICE II
FireWire chip provides excellent clock and in many
setups the “internal” option is the best choice.
However, you may sync to any digital device attached
to the Konnekt digital inputs and enjoy the
outstanding JetPLL jitter rejection technology also
provided by the DICE II.
Example 1 - Konnekt as Clock Master:
Setting Clock Master and Sync Source.
• The setup consists of 2 Konnekt units connected via
FireWire, a computer and an ADAT interface.
• We assigned the nick-names “My Konnekt” and
Peter’s Konnekt” to the two Konnekt units. (nick-
names are set on the Setup page).
The intention is to sync the entire setup to the ADAT
interface.
• Set Clock Master on the System Settings page to
“Peter’s Konnekt” as this is is the physical Konnekt
unit that will determine the clock master.
• Set Sync Source to ADAT as this is the connection on
the Clock Master unit that you would like to sync to.
That is basically it. The Sample Rate should only be set if
Internal Clock source is selected.
