Scarlett Octopre With Audio Interface - Smux-Ii And Smux-Iv Modes; Scarlett Octopre With Analogue Mixing Desk - Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre User Manual

3 . Scarlett OctoPre with audio interface
– SMUX-II and SMUX-IV modes
Optical TOSLINK
This example shows a similar setup to Example 2, but using a Focusrite Clarett 8PreX allows
operation at a sample rate of 96 kHz ("SMUX-II" mode). Both units must be set to 96 kHz; two optical
cables are used, carrying four channels of audio each. The Clarett 8PreX is the sync master.
This setup is also applicable with 192 kHz sample rate ("SMUX-IV" mode); each optical cable will
then carry two channels of audio.

Scarlett OctoPre with analogue mixing desk

This setup uses the Scarlett OctoPre's mic pre-amplifiers to provide a high quality "front end" for an
analogue mixing desk. Use a pre-made loom to connect the OctoPre's LINE OUTPUTS socket to eight
line inputs on the mixing desk; this will need eight ¼" TRS jacks on one end and eight connectors
appropriate to the desk's line inputs on the other. If the desk's line inputs are unbalanced, a loom
with TS jacks at the OctoPre end will be suitable.
This setup would also be appropriate to use the OctoPre as an input stage with any type of 8-channel
analogue device.
