SYSTEM SETTINGS

In a digital setup, it is important that all connected devices run at the same sample rate. The Clock Master device defines this sample rate, and distributes a digital clock based on this sample rate to all devices in the setup. There can be one, and only one clock master in a digital setup, and you cannot select your computer here; the clock master device is always your audio interface. However, the Clock Master device may sync to an external device. See “Sync Source” below.

The Sync Source parameter determines to which device the Clock Master should sync. The DICE IITM FireWire chip provides excellent clock and in many setups the “internal” option is the best choice. However, you may sync to any digital device attached to the digital inputs of a Konnekt in your system and benefit from the outstanding JetPLL jitter elimination technology also provided by the DICE IITM chip.

Example 1: Studio Konnekt 48 as Clock Master:

Setting Clock Master and Sync Source.

•The setup consists of 2 Studio Konnekt 48 units connected via FireWire, a computer and an ADAT interface.

•We assigned the nick-names “SK48 No1” and SK48 No2” to the two Studio Konnekt 48 units. (nick- names are set on the Setup page).

The intention is to sync the entire setup to the ADAT interface.

•Set Clock Master on the System Settings page to “SK48 No1” as this is is the physical Konnekt unit that will determine the clock master.

•Set Sync Source to ADAT as this is the connection on the Clock Master unit that you would like to sync to.

That is basically it. The Sample Rate should only be set if Internal Clock source is selected.

Example 2: Studio Konnekt 48 - Jitter Elimination

In this setup we have a CD player in the system. In terms of digital clocking a CD player is uncontrollable and can thus only act as master.
