S/PDIF Source
Your Clarett interface includes both an S/PDIF input and an S/PDIF output. You can connect these to
digital audio equipment to route two-channel digital audio (meeting the S/PDIF standard) in and out
of the interface and hence into your recording system.
These signals are normally connected at the dedicated RCA (phono) SPDIF IN and OUT connectors
on the rear panel, but to accommodate some digital audio equipment which only has S/PDIF
inputs or outputs on an optical TOSLINK connector, it is possible to reassign the OPTICAL IN and
OPTICAL OUT ports to handle the S/PDIF signals instead of the ADAT signals they are normally used
for. In this case, the Clarett will not be able to accept or output 8-channel ADAT format signals.
If you need to use S/PDIF signals via an optical TOSLINK connection, click the Optical option of
S/PDIF Source instead of RCA.
Sample Rate
Your Clarett interface is able to operate at any of six sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz,
96 kHz, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz. The default sample rate is 48 kHz. Select an alternative sample rate
if needed.
