Inputs & Outputs

Input: SYNC INPUT

The SYNC input allows you to feed an external signal into the converter to control the sample rate. Connect an S/P-DIF output from your master source (e.g. sound card) to the SYNC input. The 2376 is not equipped to accept Word Clock for synchronization.

The yellow SYNC LOCK LED illuminates when a valid sync signal is present at the SYNC input, and the converter is automatically synchronized to the external sample rate.

The internal oscillators are automatically disabled when an external clock signal is present to prevent interference. If the sync signal is no longer present (e.g. in the case of a dropout), the converter automatically reverts to the sample rate selected via the buttons (see page 9).

Additional input with single-channel devices

If the 24/96 AD Converter is installed in a single-channel SPL device such as the GainStation 1, Channel One or Track One, the second channel of the stereo converter can be used via the additional analog AD converter input on the device‘s rear panel. This allows you to „daisy-chain“ two preamps or channel strips through one converter, or route any other single-channel analog signal to the converter‘s second channel. For additional information please see the manual for the SPL device you are upgrading.

Double S/P-DIF output: RCA and optical

The converted signal is routed in parallel to the RCA and optical outputs. The digital signal is transferred in profes- sional S/P-DIF format without sample rate data in the status block.

We recommend that you check the documentation on your receiving device to ensure that it can process the profes- sional S/P-DIF format (some devices only accept consumer format). If your receiving device does not identify the sample rate, it most likely needs the status-block data and does not automatically recognize the incoming sample rate.
