Clock Source
Clock source and sample rate settings work in
the same manner as above, it defines what the
clock source will be; internal, S/PDIF, or word
clock.
The clock source can be switched from the front
panel when in standalone, using the Multi but-
ton.
The LED button will either be off/on/pulsing to
indicate which clock source is currently as-
signed.
• If the LED if off, the clock source is internal.
• If the LED is on, the clock source is word
clock
• If the LED is pulsing, clock source is S/PDIF
Sample Rate
This setting assigns the sample rate when it's set
to internal clock source in standalone mode.
Mode
The Mbox Pro can be in the following three
types of sub-standalone modes:
AD/DA Converter When in AD/DA mode, analog
inputs 1 and 2 are routed to S/PDIF outputs left
and right and S/PDIF inputs left and right are
routed to analog outputs 1 and 2.
Preamp When in Preamp mode, analog input 1
is sent to analog output 1 and S/PDIF left. Ana-
log input 2 is sent to analog output 2 and S/PDIF
Right. Analog inputs 3–6 are sent to analog out-
puts 3–6.
Mixer When in Mixer mode, all analog and dig-
ital inputs are summed and routed to analog
outputs 1-2 are mirrored to S/PDIF outputs left
and right.
Changing Sub-standalone Modes
Once you are in standalone mode you can tell
which of the three sub-standalone modes the
Mbox Pro is in and change them using the
Speaker source select switch (pushing the
Speaker button cycles through them all).
The button displays the following colors for
each mode:
• Green in AD/DA Converter Mode
• Red in Preamp mode
• Amber in Mixer mode
