2. We then configure the first AudioFuse 8Pre to synchronize itself to the AudioFuse 16Rig
through the Word Clock connection by setting the AudioFuse 8Pre's "Sync" parameter (on
the front panel) set to "Word."
3. Next, let's switch on the "Pass Thru" function on the first AudioFuse 8Pre. This is done
through the AFCC under Device Settings (Gear Icon) > Audio Settings > Pass Thru. Switching
this function on passes the incoming clock signal directly out of the first AudioFuse's Word
Clock output letting you "daisy chain" other devices that require clock synchronization.
4. Next, let's connect the Word Clock output of the first 8Pre to the Word Clock input of the
second AudioFuse 8Pre.
5. Finally, ensure that Word Clock Termination is switched ON for the second AudioFuse
8Pre. This is done through AFCC under Device Settings (Gear Icon) > Audio Settings > Clock
Termination. This parameter must be set to "75 Ohms (On)"
At this point, the three devices are digitally connected through ADAT and properly
synchronized through Word Clock. In your music software, record-enabling the AudioFuse
16Rig's ADAT inputs 1-8 and 9-16 will let you capture the pristine preamplified output of both
AudioFuse 8Pres.
Note that this section only covers the basics of working with Word Clock and there are other
(more advanced) ways of synchronizing digital devices to each other. To learn more about
this topic, we recommend taking a look at

extra hardware like USB MIDI controllers, software copy protection keys, memory sticks,
and more.
