If you are experiencing clicks and pops in your recordings:

•When clocking to an external digital device, make sure the input source on the Settings tab of the Control

Panel is set to “External - S/PDIF.” See the section about Word Clock for more information.

•Make sure your input levels are not too high, as this can cause distortion and clipping. Check the input level meters in your audio application.

•If you have connected ProFire 610 to a computer through a FireWire hub, try connecting the interface directly to your computer to see if the problem resolves.

•Certain PC motherboards feature network adapters that may conflict with the FireWire port and result in streaming issues for attached FireWire devices. Try disabling your network interface adapter (NIC) to see if the issue resolves. This can usually be done through the system BIOS or the Windows Device Manager. Please refer to your Windows or motherboard documentation to learn how to do this.

•Windows XP/Vista Users: Try increasing the ProFire 610 buffer size. Larger buffer sizes will increase latency but will reduce the demands placed on your computer and may improve audio streaming. Buffer size settings can usually be changed through your audio application’s “setup” or “preferences” menu or the ProFire 610 Control Panel.
