Chapter 7 - Alesis Optical Interface

To Two or More ADATs With a BRC or AI-2

If your ADAT system has an Alesis BRC Master Remote Controller, the fiber optic

cables that make up the digital buss need to be connected in the same order as the

Sync cables. If your ADAT system uses the BRC or the Alesis AI-2 Synchronizer, the

QuadraVerb 2's digital clock must be synchronized to the clock coming from the BRC

or AI-2. Connect a BNC-to-BNC cable (such as the Alesis BN cable) between the

BRC's 48 kHz CLOCK OUT and the QuadraVerb 2's 48 kHz CLOCK IN.

If only using one ADAT without the BRC or AI-2, it is not necessary to connect the

48 kHz Clock.

In Global mode ([GLOBAL] button's LED lit), page 5 lets you select the Sample Clock

Source. This can either be Internal or Sample Clock. When set to Internal, the

QuadraVerb 2 uses its own internal sample clock as a reference for its DSP. However,

if you are recording the QuadraVerb 2's digital output to ADAT using the BRC Master

Remote Controller, the QuadraVerb 2 must receive a 48 kHz clock signal from the

BRC in order to maintain perfect sync with the ADAT system. This requires that you

connect a BNC-to-BNC cable between the BRC's 48 kHz Clock Out to the

QuadraVerb 2's 48 kHz Clock In. When you are ready to record onto ADAT from the

QuadraVerb 2, be sure to set the QuadraVerb 2's Sample Clock Source function to

Sample Clock.

To select the Sample Clock Source:

Press [GLOBAL].

The [GLOBAL] button's LED will light.

Press [PAGE >] 5 times, so that Page 5 is underlined in the display.

The display will read:

SAMPLE CLOCK

SOURCE:INTERNAL

If the Input Audio Source is set to Optical Data, then the Sample Clock Source will be

set to Optical and cannot be changed.

Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select either "INTERNAL" or "48 kHz IN".
