Firewire In

Up to 16 channels of audio can be received via the firewire connection. This section route these channels. The signal can be routed to, AES/EBU, SPDIF (coax), Tos-link and ADAT outputs. Any channel pair can also be routed to monitor out.

Example 3

A typical setting for this section would be:

Routing firewire channels 1-8 to AES+SPDIF+TOS 1-8

Routing firewire channels 9-16 to ADAT.

This is set up in the following way:

Press 1-8 to route firewire channels 1-8

1-8 & 9-16

Select 1-8 to route firewire channels 1-8 and select 9-16 to route channels 9-16.

Firewire Routing

-Firewire channels 1-8 can be routed to AES+SPDIF+TOS outputs or to ADAT out.

-Firewire channels 9-16 can be routed to AES+SPDIF+TOS outputs or to ADAT out.

Note that ADAT channels are handled in groups of eight channels thus either channels 1-8 OR channels 9-16 are routed to ADAT out.

We have routed channels 1/2 to monitor out.

Press 9-16 to route firewire channels 9-16
