Layla24 can accommodate eight analog input signals and can generate
eight independent analog output signals. In addition, Layla24 provides
stereo S/PDIF digital input and output via coaxial RCA or optical
connectors, and eight channels of ADAT optical I/O. The analog and
digital inputs and outputs on Layla24 are simultaneously active, except
that the digital mode must be set to either S/PDIF or ADAT.
The S/PDIF
and ADAT I/O cannot be used simultaneously
. This allows you to record
up to 16 channels of audio (eight analog and eight digital) while playing
back 16 channels (eight analog and eight digital) in ADAT mode, or
record up to 10 channels (eight analog and two digital) while playing
back 10 channels (eight analog and two digital) in S/PDIF mode.
Additional information on attaching external devices to Layla24 may be
found in the
Connecting to Layla24’s Rack-mount Audio Interface
section.
(NOTE: When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Layla24, do not
use standard analog RCA audio cables. For reliable S/PDIF operation,
75ohm coaxial video cables are recommended).
