VxD console – Mia

There are also buttons for selecting controls that affect either the analog outputs or

the digital outputs. When “Analog” is selected, the monitors and virtual output

controls for the analog outputs are displayed within the Console. When “Digital”

is selected, the controls for the digital outputs are shown.

Clock Source and Output Control buttons are at the bottom of the Console.

Synchronizing Multiple Devices

Mia is designed to work alongside other audio equipment. If you are planning on

using Mia with other audio equipment, please note the following:

The Mia Windows drivers included in this package support multiple Mias within

the same system. In addition, your new Mia will operate alongside other Echo

products. Mia can also peacefully coexist with audio equipment from other

manufacturers, but be aware that operating alongside another product is not the

same as operating with it. In order for accurate synchronization to occur, the other

audio product(s) in your system must support synchronization with Mia’s digital

input or outputs. Without such synchronization, the individual pieces of equipment

will act independently of each other. This scenario may be fine for some musical

applications; however, it is not appropriate for situations where sample-accurate

synchronization is required or that will be affected by clock drift.

Mia can slave to or generate synchronization signals with its digital (S/PDIF)

interface. The S/PDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interchange Format) is a serial bit

stream that has a clock signal embedded in the data stream. When recording from

an S/PDIF source Mia will utilize the synchronization clock that is embedded in

the S/PDIF while it decodes the bit stream.

Note:

When recording from a S/PDIF port, you must select Digital as the

input clock. For greater flexibility, this is not done automatically. If you

find that your S/PDIF recordings contain pops or skips, be sure that you

have selected Digital as your input clock.

Now let’s take a look at some possible configurations and how you might set them

up from a synchronization standpoint.
