Clock Mode 
Sample Rate 
Used to set the current sample rate. This is the same setting as in the Audio MIDI Setup, just 
added here for your convenience. 
Clock Source 
The unit can be configured to use its own clock (Internal = Master), or one of the input signals 
(Word, ADAT, SPDIF coax. = Slave). If the selected source isn't available, the unit will change 
to the next available one (this functionality is called AutoSync). If none is available then the in-
ternal clock is used. The current clock source is displayed below. 
Input Status 
Indicates for each input (Word, optical, SPDIF coax.) 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.). See 
also chapter 32.1. 
Options 
DSP – EQ+D for Record 
Switches EQ and Dynamics of all input channels into the recording path. In case Loopback has 
been activated the EQ and Dynamics of the Output channel are within the recording path. See 
also chapter 29.5. 
WC In - Termination 
Checking this option terminates the word clock input internally with 75 Ohms. 
Limit Bandwidth (only for the FireWire driver) 
Allows to reduce the amount of bandwidth used on the FireWire bus. See chapter 32.4. 
All channels (default) activates all 18 input and output channels. 
Analog +SPDIF + ADAT 1-4 disables channels 15–18 (from ADAT). 
Analog + SPDIF activates all 8 analog channels plus SPDIF. 
Analog activates only the eight analog channels.
