Sample Rate Selection

The sample rate indicators show the current sample rate of the unit. When
the Alpha-Link LIVE-R clock source is set to 'Internal' (see opposite), pressing
the SAMPLE RATE button will step through each available sample rate
(44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz) – as indicated by
the corresponding LEDs.

Front Panel Indications

When the clock source is set to an 'external' source (AES/EBU, External or MADI) the illuminated
LED indicates the sample rate being received from that source. If there is an error or if the
received sample rate falls outside of the tolerance expected (±0.5% from nominal), all sample
rate LEDs will be off.

External Lock Range

When locking to an 'external' source Alpha-Link LIVE-R will normally accept and lock to a wider clock range at up to
10% of the nominal rate, provided that the nominal rate corresponds to one of the supported rates (44.1kHz, 48kHz,
88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz).
If the unit has been set to interface the maximum 64 MADI channels (32 or 16 channels at higher sample rates),
the tighter clock tolerance of ±0.5% applies.
As noted above, if the sample rate from an external source falls outside of the expected tolerance (±0.5%) all sample
rate LEDs will be extinguished although the clock source LED should still indicate if a valid signal is being received.
