Digital Interfaces
Every digital device requires a sampling rate for proper
operation. The A16 AE can either generate such sampling rate
itself (Master) or receive it from another device (Slave).
It is important that all devices within a digital domain work
with the same sampling rate. For that reason there has to be
exactly one master generating the sampling rate, while all other
devices have to refer to this sampling rate as a slave.
It is not possible to connect two master devices with
each other, even if set to the same sampling rate.
Because the units are not synchronized, even the
smallest variations of the sampling rate would cause
failures.
With the
SYNCHRONIZATION
button you can select
whether the device shall be master or slave to MADI, ADAT or
BNC.
If the corresponding field in the TFT is green, the
A16 AE found a valid sampling rate at the selected input.
In case you have set the A16 AE as MASTER, it will generate
the sampling rate. Now you can select the frequency between
32kHz and 96kHz via
SAMPLE RATE
.
