'GENERAL' TAB SETTINGS

Sample Rate

Choose the desired Sample Rate for recording and
playback. The 828mk3 can operate at 44.1 (the
standard rate for compact disc audio), 48, 88.2, 96,
176.4 or 192 kHz. Make sure that all of the devices
connected digitally to the 828mk3 match the
828mk3's sample rate. Also make sure that your
Digital Timepiece, MIDI Timepiece AV or other
digital audio synchronizer matches it as well. At the
4x sample rates (176.4 or 192kHz), all digital I/O
on the 828mk3 is disabled.
☛
Mismatched sample rates cause distortion and
crackling. If you hear this sort of thing, check the
sample rate settings in your hardware and here in

MOTU Audio Console.

Figure 5-1: MOTU Audio Console gives you access to all of the settings in the 828mk3 hardware.
