Connectors and controls
When recording from a digital source, make sure that the sampling rates of both devices (e.g.
DAT recorder and laptop) are synchronized. The S/PDIF protocol contains a signal called
wordclock for this purpose. If the Master Clock switch is set to “EXTERNAL” in the GO44 Con-
trol panel, the GO44 will automatically synchronize to it and the “DIGITAL IN” channel will be
available in the mixer.
ASIO applications such as Cubase often have an option to switch the hardware from an inter-
nal to an external (sometimes also called S/PDIF) clock source. This changeover currently has
no effect on the GO44.
Make sure to use RCA pin cables specially made for digital audio applications.
KDIGITAL OUT jack
This digital audio jack is for the digital output of audio signals. The interface can transmit sam-
ple rates of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. For playback, set the routing in the Control Panel to the digi-
tal output. AC3 and DTS can also be played back via the digital output. Select “NON AUDIO”
for the digital output in the Control Panel under “ROUTING”. (See page 20.) The non-audio
signals are not sent to the analog outputs.
