User Guide
Sample rate
To change the sample rate on both your
Nucleus
2
and the Virtual Soundcard:
• On the computer, double-click on the device
you wish to change in Dante controller
• Select the Device Config tab. The sample
rate for each device can be selected via the
drop down list (see image).
The LOCK LED in the centre of the console will
be illuminated when locked and off if there is
an error with the Dante clock.
Stand-alone System vs Wider Dante Network
The description here is for configuring the Nucleus
2
soundcard in a stand-alone system (with the DAW control and
Nucleus
2
audio being the only networked device connected to one computer at any time). For more details on configuring
an expanded Dante audio network with other Dante based products, please see the Audinate website here.

SPDIF I/O & EXTERNAL SOUNDCARD
Setup
If you do not need to use the Dante soundcard
in Nucleus
2
and instead want to configure the
SPDIF inputs and outputs with an existing
soundcard in your setup, you need to first go to
the Nucleus
2
Remote application, go to the
Network Setup tab and un-tick the Dante
Enabled option (see image). The ‘Dante’ LED in
the centre of the console will switch off.
Clocking
The SPDIF inputs have sample-rate conversion,
and the outputs clock to the internal soundcard.
This means that when both SPDIF inputs and outputs are connected, the Nucleus
2
must be the clock-master. The external
SPDIF device you connect should clock to the SPDIF outputs. When only using the SPDIF inputs for monitoring, the external
device can be clock-master as these have SRC’s on the input.
The SPDIF I/O will only operate at lower sample rates (44.1/48kHz)
