ADAT Routing

The four ADAT channel pairs can be routed to any pair of AES+SPDIF+TOS channels and to the eight ADAT channels simultaneously as well.

Example 2

In the example below the following is selected:

ADAT In

This section routes the signal present on the ADAT in connection. The signal can be routed to AES/EBU, SPDIF, Toslink and ADAT outputs and any pair of channels can also be routed to monitor out.

NS & DS - (Normal and Double Sample Rate) Using these switches you can alternate between using normal or double sample rate for the ADAT format.

At normal sample rate, 44.1 or 48 kHz, up to eight channels can be sent on a single lightpipe cable. Use MAIN 1-2 connections on the rear panel.

All ADAT channels are sent to ADAT out.

ADAT channels 1-2 are sent to the analog monitor and headphones outputs.

At double sample rate, 88.2 or 96kHz, four channels per lightpipe connection can be sent. To facilitate eight channels, two lightpipe cables for inputs and 2 lightpipe cables for outputs must be used.

SRC - (Sample Rate Conversion)

Press to activate sample rate conversion on all ADAT input channels. This will deselect any previously selected sample rate conversion.
