Hardware Settings Panel - Universal Audio Arrow Manual

Hardware Settings Panel

The Hardware panel is where Arrow's system-level audio interface I/O settings such as
sample rate and output reference levels are configured. These settings are used by DAW
applications when they are configured to use Arrow as the audio interface. Even when
Console is not open, these settings are stored by the Arrow drivers for use by other host
applications.
Sample Rate
This setting defines the sample rate that is used for Arrow A/D and D/A conversion and
UAD Powered Plug-Ins processing. When using UAD Powered Plug-Ins, higher sample
rates require more UAD DSP resources.
Note: When the sample rate is changed, hardware relays that mute the outputs
are temporarily engaged to prevent audio artifacts. This action causes an acoustic
clicking sound that can be heard within the hardware. These clicks are by design
and can be safely ignored.
Host Control of Sample Rate
Behavior and control of the sample rate depends on the operating environment:
Without a DAW – Arrow's sample rate is set within Console when a DAW is not used
(when Console is the only host application).
With a DAW – The sample rate is usually changed within the DAW application's audio
preferences.
Tip: Sample Rate can also be viewed and changed via Console's
