VOL pot.. This output is a very low impedance type, which can also be used to connect headphones. The Fireface 802 FS can store and load its current state in 6 different memory slots, called Setups. With this, the Fireface 802 FS can be used stand-alone after setting it up accordingly, replacing lots of dedicated devices (see chapter 24).

21. Digital Connections 21.1 ADAT (SPDIF optical) The ADAT optical inputs of the Fireface 802 FS are fully compatible with all ADAT optical outputs. RME's unsurpassed Bitclock PLL prevents clicks and drop outs even in extreme varipitch opera- tion, and guarantees a fast and low jitter lock to the digital input signal. A usual TOSLINK cable is sufficient for connection.

However, due to the limited bandwidth of MIDI, this kind of application will often show various problems.
