WDM Devices
Allows to freely set which I/Os are available as WDM devices, if these are stereo or multi-
channel devices (up to 8 channels), and if one or multiple of the currently active WDM devices
should have the Speaker property. More details are found in chapter 7.2.
Clock Mode
Word Clock – Single Speed
The word clock output signal usually
equals the current sample rate.
Selecting Single Speed causes the
output signal to always stay within the
range of 32 kHz to 48 kHz. So at 96 kHz
and 192 kHz sample rate, the output
word clock is 48 kHz.
Sample Rate
Sets the currently used sample rate.
Offers a central and comfortable way of
configuring the sample rate of all WDM
devices to the same value, as since
Vista the audio software is no longer
allowed to set the sample rate.
However, an ASIO program can still set
the sample rate by itself. During
record/playback the selection is greyed
out, so no change is possible.
Clock Source
The unit can be configured to use its
own clock (Internal = Master), or one of
the input signals (Word, AES, ADAT1,
ADAT2, MADI optical, MADI coaxial). If
the selected source isn't available (Input
Status No Lock), the unit will change to
the next available one (AutoSync). If
none is available then the internal clock
is used. The current clock source is
displayed to the right.
Pitch (Thunderbolt only)
More information on Pitch is available in chapter 7.4.
Input Status
Indicates for each input (Word, AES, ADAT1, ADAT2, MADI optical, MADI coaxial) whether
there is a valid signal (Lock, No Lock), or if there is a valid and synchronous signal (Sync). The
third column shows the sample frequency detected by the hardware (coarse recognition, 32
kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz etc.). For MADI, channel format and Frame format are also shown.
