Figure 1 – Using Verona to clock a La Scala and an Elgar Plus

do this: Connect up as shown in Figure 1.

do this: The first time you use this arrangement, open the menu and run the Factory routine on all three units. This sets the Verona to 44.1kHz.

do this: If necessary, use the Input button on the Elgar Plus to select the 1394 input. Open the Elgar’s menu and set the MS page to MS:Sync.

It is as simple as that.
