  • Page 35 ASP880 Optical TOSlink Cable Please note that ORIA cannot send the clock via ADAT as it has no ADAT outputs, if you wish to use the ORIA as a master clock for an ADAT device, then a BNC connection must be used.

  • Page 36: Setting The Clock Source

    Once you have connected your external devices to ORIA as per the example diagrams, you will need to instruct ORIA where to take its clock from. This is done in the System Panel of the ORIA software. More information regarding this can be found in the System Panel section of the manual.
  • Page 37 Now use the routing matrix to route the channels of the Transmitter device to the correct speaker outputs of ORIA. Below is an example of a 9.1.6 setup and a 7.1.4 setup. Note that the 7.1.4 setup skips the Lw, Rw, Ltm and Rtm speaker channels as these are not used in a 7.1.4 speaker configuration.
  • Page 38 Setting up the ORIA Control Application Once you have set up the ORIA as a receiving device in the Dante© Controller application, you can use the Dante card (AoIP) as an Input Source in the ORIA Control Application. Firstly, you may need to adjust your clock source. Open the System Panel of the ORIA Control Application, and in the Preferred Clock Source section, ensure that AoIP is set as your clock source.
  • Page 39 Additional Clocking Information When using the AoIP clock as your Preferred Clock Source, it is still possible to use ORIA to distribute this clock via the BNC output in order to Sync an ADAT device connected to ORIA. Please note that if using the Dante card as your Input Source, any ADAT devices connected to ORIA must be clocked via the BNC word clock output of ORIA.

    Output Controls In this section you can control various options for each individual output: At the bottom of the Setup Panel, there are three further controls for speaker calibration. Trim The first control is Trim, which raises or lowers the level of this speaker by up to 12 decibels, in increments of 0.1 decibels.
  • Page 64 This is important in audio systems where the individual speakers may not be able to faithfully recreate lower bass frequencies, and so redirecting these lower frequencies to the subwoofer may provide a more optimal experience. Click and drag this control to define the crossover frequency, below which audio will be sent to the subwoofer and above which the audio will be sent to the defined speaker channel.
  • Page 65 Low Latency Software Mixer The ORIA Control Application includes a software mixer, providing the ability to directly monitor your inputs with almost zero latency. This is ideal when using the Microphone and Digital inputs for tracking. The Software Mixer allows you to make up to three stereo mixes. There is a Master Mix which is designed to feed the studio monitor for monitoring by the engineer while tracking.
