AD-16X – User’s Guide
When an X-Option card is installed, the AD-16X may be set to one of two output configurations, Standard Rout-
ing and Advanced Option Routing.
When Standard routing is enabled, only one signal path is present – analog inputs routed simultaneously to all
digital outputs. When Advanced Option routing is enabled, two signal paths are present – 1) analog input to X-
Option card outputs; 2) X-Option card inputs simultaneously to ADAT and AES outputs.
Please see pages 9 & 10 for Advanced Option Routing examples
Switching the AD-16X between Routing modes may only be accomplished when powering on the unit.
To toggle between Standard and Advanced Option routing modes, press and hold the UP button while powering
on the unit; when Standard routing is enabled, “Apogee AD-16X” scrolls across the Sample Rate Display; when
Advanced Option routing is enabled, “Apogee AD-16X 2.0” scrolls across the Sample Rate Display
IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING ADVANDED OPTION ROUTING MODE
Advanced Option routing will modify the manner in which an X-HD equipped AD-16X is detected in Pro Tools,
reflecting the additional available outputs. Please see the X-HD manual for details.
