Note: When synchronizing your AudioFire product to an external device via

S/PDIF or Word Clock, you must set the AudioFire to the correct base clock

rate. See the following table for the correct base clock rate setting.

Now let's take a look at some sample configurations and how you might set them

up from a synchronization standpoint.

Let's start with a simple example. Suppose that AudioFire8 is the only audio

device used in your studio. Since you have no other devices to synchronize with,

simply select Internal for AudioFire8's input clock. AudioFire8 will then use its

own clock to control its operation.

Now a little more complicated set-up: You want to have an AudioFire8

synchronized to another device via word clock. Simply set the AudioFire8 to

Internal for its input clock. Now connect the AudioFire8 to the other device via a

BNC cable running from Word Clock Out on the AudioFire8 to Word Clock In on

other device. Now select Word for the other device's input sync. The other device

will slave to your AudioFire8 and they will now operate in unison.

No matter how many devices you are synchronizing, the concept is essentially the

same. You are merely "daisy-chaining" devices together using compatible clocks.

One device will operate as the source of the master clock, with each successive

device using that clock to sync.
