SDR 24/96

The following is the recommended setup for establishing proper sample clock synchronization with the devices connected to the SDR24/96.

ADAT Optical

With the SDR24/96 as a master, set the receiving device(s) to derive sample clock from their ADAT optical ports if the ports are self-clocking. In this case, no word clock connection is necessary. If the ADAT optical ports on the receiving devices are not self-clocking, connect WORD CLOCK OUT of the SDR24/96 to Word Clock In on the receiving device(s). If the receiving device is an ADAT multitrack recorder, use ADAT SYNC OUT of the SDR24/96 to the SYNC IN on the ADAT.

With the SDR24/96 configured as a slave, there is no need to connect the word clock connection on the SDR24/96 (the SDR can derive its word clock from the Digital Optical input). Make sure the sample clock (SETUP:Sync:SClk) is set to ADAT A, ADAT B, or ADAT C (whichever is the master ADAT).

Note: If you are using an SDR24/96 with the Mackie Digital 8•Bus console, you may need to turn on the Digital 8•Bus first. The Apogee Clock I/O on the D8B prefers not to see an active signal at its Word Clock input when it powers up.
