Analogue Mixing Desk
This example shows how to connect a greater number of DAW tracks to an analogue mixing desk
for mixdown. The 8 analogue outputs of a Red 8Line interface are connected to desk Channels 1 to
8. Connect the Red 8Line's OPTICAL OUT ports to the OPTICAL IN ports of two Clarett+ OctoPres
and enable ADAT>LINE on both. A loom like in Example 4 is used to connect the two OctoPres to
Channels 9 to 24 of the desk.
The Red 8Line would normally be the sync leader in this situation, so its clock source is set to
Internal. The clock source on both Clarett+ OctoPres is set to ADAT, so both synchronise to the Red
8Line via the ADAT optical connections.
The setup in this example would allow you to send 16 DAW tracks to the desk if you only used one
Clarett+ OctoPre.
The above channel counts are applicable at 44.1/48 kHz sample rate, providing a Focusrite Red 8Line
the primary interface.
