10 Standalone Operation

In addition to operating as an audio interface for your computer, ProFire 610 can also operate without a computer in “standalone mode.”

In Standalone mode, ProFire 610 functions as an analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converter. Analog inputs 1-2 are “passed through” to analog outputs 1-2 while simultaneously being converted to digital and sent out of the S/PDIF output. The S/PDIF input is converted to analog and sent out of analog outputs 3-4.

To enter Standalone Mode, power down your computer and the ProFire 610 interface, disconnect any FireWire cables attached to the FireWire Connectors 11 , and switch on the interface. Keep in mind that all Standalone Mode settings must be made while the interface is still connected to a computer (i.e., ProFire 610 settings cannot be modified while the unit is operating in Standalone Mode). The parameters in the “Standalone Mode” section of the Settings tab of the Control Panel determine how ProFire 610 will function while the interface is operating in Standalone Mode. This is a useful feature as it allows you to set the Standalone Mode settings independently from the hosted settings. This saves you from having to reconfigure the Control Panel each time before you use the interface in Standalone Mode.

For more information on configuring ProFire 610 for standalone operation, refer to the “Settings Tab” section of this user guide.
