Quick Reference: PCIe-424 Audio Card
Connect the first (core
system) interface to
the PCIe-424 card here
using the Audio Wire
cable included with
your core system. If
you use a custom
cable, it should not be
longer than 50 feet.
Connect additional MOTU
PCI audio interfaces here.
You can connect up to
four I/Os to a PCIe-424
card for a maximum of 96
possible active inputs
and outputs.
If you are using the PCIe-424 system with one or more ADATs, or any other ADAT
Sync-compatible recorder, use this standard ADAT SYNC INPUT to connect the
PCIe-424 card to the end of your ADAT sync chain. For example, if you have
three ADATs, chain the ADATs in the usual fashion (SYNC OUT to SYNC IN, etc.),
and then connect the last ADAT’s SYNC OUT to this SYNC IN on the PCIe-424
card. This connection allows you to make sample-accurate audio transfers
between your host audio software (if it supports sample-accurate sync) and
the ADATs. If you have a MIDI Timepiece AV or a Digital Timepiece, make it the
master of the ADAT SYNC chain so that you can control everything from your
host audio software (or your other MIDI Machine Control compatible software).
