m908 User Manual, Rev. G
If the input source is composed of more than one hardware input source (4 AES3 signals for
instance) the m908 will lock to the lowest channel number. All signals are assumed to be at the
same sample rate and synchronous to each other. If there are mismatched sample rates among the
input signals for the input source then audio will be muted and the system clock status will flash
red.
The m908 does not contain a sample rate converter. If the clock source is set to a connector
that is not the same as the audio data source then it is assumed that the audio data will be at the
same sample rate and be synchronous to the clock source.
If the m908 system clock source is set to one of the Internal sample rates then the m908 is the
clock master. Any digital audio source connected to the m908 will need to be synchronized to the
m908 word clock output.
If there is a digital input source that can not be synchronized to an external clock (CD player
for instance) then set the
override clock
in the Input Setup for that device. When that input is
selected for monitoring, the System Clock will switch the clock source to that input audio stream
automatically. See the
section of this manual for details.
Below are two tables that summarize the various clock and sample rate states that are
indicated by the fs: and clk: displays on the RCU.
