Synchronizing the Word Clock
A stable sample clock source is essential for high quality digital audio. Setups
involving multiple digital recording/playback devices often require that all devic-
es are locked to a common clock reference to ensure synchronicity—that all run
at the same speed and remain in phase with one another.
By default, the 688 uses its own internal clock to generate its sampling rate.
The Word Clock BNC input connection on the back panel may be used to clock
from an external signal. The 688 internal word clock may also be used as clock
master by connecting its output connection to external audio devices.
L
The 688 accepts word clock signals between 44.1 kHz and 192 kHz.
