Default Re: Proper Word clock setup with SYNC I/O, Digital 192 and external converters

You shouldn't use any type of 'T' connector, always loop in/out if possible. Better yet is to use a Sync DA.

I thought you were trying to use this setup using the clock of the Apogee? If you take an AES out of it, or Wordclock into the Sync I/O it should work as long as you select the proper source in your session setup.

BTW, I did some early testing comparing the jitter of the 192 running internal (with Sync I/O) and an external clocksource. There is more jitter in the system when it's trying to lock to an external source. If you think it sounds better, then use it. If you don't care, then have your Apogee reference to the Sync I/O.
