I do everything at 96K too, and yes, I use the S/PDIF at 96k from the ADAT 1. The ADAT outputs are selectable individually as ADAT or S/PDIF. I don't use the inputs so I don't have any settings for those, but it doesn't look like you can use the Carbon ADATs as S/PDIF inputs from what I can see. Looks like the Midas is input only (you're not using it as 8 line outs??) so that isn't an issue. I'd use Word Clock to clock the Midas from the Carbon, otherwise you'll have to use the Midas as the clock source, which probably isn't optimal (not sure if the Carbon re-clocks to remove jitter like the RME interfaces do, but having the Carbon as master is better if it doesn't).


Not a rant, just questions. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much Dominic , very helpful info!

Am I understanding this correctly that the carbon pre will give you additional line outputs as well ? If so that's pretty sweet!

Yes, each Carbon Pre is 8 more mic/line ins (a total of 8, regardless of whether you use XLR, TRS or D-Sub) and 8 more line outs.
In addition there are 2 ADATs in and 2 ADATs out (16 channels @ 44.1–48 kHz, 8 channels @ 88.2–96 kHz, 4 channels @ 176.4–192 kHz).

No additional Monitor or headphone outputs, and no more DSP.

I’ve just discovered that you can’t use the ADATs on the Carbon Pres. Which is completely mad. Apologies for my incorrect advice here.

I have it on good authority that even though today the carbon pre doesnt allow you to use the ADAT and Analog IO simultaneously, it is a software not a hardware change to enable it.

I have a suspicion it will come in the future.

I would love it if Mark Corbin would chime in here since he is on the Product team and this is typically where these decisions are owned.
