Clock Synchronization; Using The Internal Clock - Arturia AUDIOFUSE STUDIO User Manual

1.5.6. Clock Synchronization

Digital audio devices need to be synchronized to one master clock in order to exchange
audio data properly. AudioFuse Studio can run on its own internal clock or it can synchronize
itself to external clock sources.
The (default) internal clock of AudioFuse Studio is extremely stable and will offer you the
best performance in most situations. If you have the option to drive your peripheral gear
from AudioFuse Studio's internal clock, please do so. However, if you do need to have
another device to function as the master clock and to have AudioFuse Studio synchronize
itself to that device's clock, you can do so through the AudioFuse Control Center software.
Please refer to the

1.5.6.1. Using the Internal Clock

The internal clock of the AudioFuse can operate at the following sampling rates:
• 44.1 kHz
• 48 kHz
• 88.2 kHz
• 96 kHz
• 176.4 kHz
• 192 kHz
The sampling rate can be set from AudioFuse Control Center, your computer's audio control
panel or your music software depending of the computer's operating system.
If the AudioFuse Studio is set to use its internal clock, it can function as a master clock
for other external devices. When using its internal clock source, AudioFuse Studio will
automatically deliver digital master clock over its outputs depending on how you have
configured the digital IO settings: - If Word Clock is selected: The interface delivers Word
Clock on coax, and ADAT clock on ADAT 1 - If SPDIF and Coax are selected: The interface
SPDIF clock on coax out, and ADAT clock on ADAT 1 - If SPDIF and Optical are selected: The
interface only delivers SPDIF clock on ADAT 2 connector
When AudioFuse Studio is synchronized to an external clock source, it still can deliver digital
audio clock as shown:
• Sync on Word Clock : deliver ADAT & Word Clock
• Sync SPDIF coax : deliver SPDIF & ADAT clock
• Sync SPDIF optical : deliver only SPDIF opt clock
• Sync ADAT : Deliver ADAT clock & Spdif or Word depending of Word/SPDIF
