Notes on system configuration
• In this configuration the slave and master units must
have the same sampling frequency. You can use 48.0
kHz, 44.1 kHz or 44.056 kHz as the sampling
frequency.
• It is possible to add a third or fourth digital audio
device to this configuration, for synchronized
operation. In this case, use the PCM-3348HR as the
master unit, make loop-through connections to
third and fourth digital audio devices, and terminate
with the professional DAT format digital audio
recorder.
