Configuring The Fireface; Settings Dialog - RME Audio Fireface 400 User Manual

20. Configuring the Fireface

20.1 Settings Dialog - General
Configuring the Fireface 400 is done via its own settings dialog. Start the program Fireface
Settings. The mixer of the Fireface (TotalMix) can be configured by starting the program Fire-
face Mixer.
The Fireface's hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and op-
tions which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different require-
ments. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
• Input selection
• Level of analog I/Os
• Configuration of digital I/Os
• Synchronization behaviour
• State of input and output
• Current sample rate
Any changes performed in the
Settings dialog are
immediately - confirmation (e.g.
by exiting the dialog) is not
required.
However, settings should not be
changed during playback
record if it can be avoided, as this
can cause unwanted noises.
The upper part of the dialog
configures the analog inputs and
outputs, the lower part controls
the digital setup.
The status displays gives the user
precise information
current status of the system, and
the status of all digital signals.
SyncCheck indicates
there is a valid signal (Lock, No
Lock) for each input (Word Clock,
ADAT, SPDIF), or if there is a
valid and synchronous
(Sync).
The AutoSync Ref display shows
the input and frequency of the
current sync source.
