OPTICAL

OctoPre

Clarett 8+Pre

Here the OPTICAL OUT on the  OctoPre is connected to OPTICAL IN on a Focusrite  

8Pre audio interface with a single optical cable. Both units are running at 44.1 kHz sample rate. 

The OctoPre’s clock source is set to INTERNAL, and the 8Pre is synchronised to it because its clock 

source is set to ADAT (via Focusrite Control). 

This  setup  would,  for  example,  enable  up  to  16  mic  or  line  sources  to  be  recorded  in  a  DAW 

simultaneously, and would be ideal for recording a live band.

OctoPre

8Pre

Here  OPTICAL  OUT  on  the    OctoPre  is  connected  to  OPTICAL  IN  on  a  Focusrite   

8Pre  audio  interface  with  a  single  optical  cable.  Both  units  are  running  at  44.1kHz  sample  rate. 

The  OctoPre’s  clock  source  is  set  to  W/CLOCK,  and  its  WORD  CLOCK  IN  input  is  connected  to 

WORD CLOCK OUT on the  8Pre with a BNC cable. The  8Pre’s clock source is set 

to INTERNAL (via Focusrite Control), making it the sync leader. It would also be appropriate for any 
other audio interface which has an ADAT input and a word clock output.
