For clocking you don't make a cable like that.. What you need is a bunch of BNC T Pieces and some lengths of BNC terminated cable. Old School ethernet cable works well for short runs.

You plug one BNC into the Light bridge, run a cable to a T piece, plug the T piece in the back of your interface, and then the other side of your T piece you run a cable to the next T piece and so on. The last interface simply has a BNC cable plugged into it from the T piece before

I've been clocking via ADAT with no problems so far, although my testing has been somewhat limited (only a few band rehearsals and one live show). It does not even seem to matter which device is the master as long as the rest are set to slave to ADAT for clock. I'm aware of the BNC T method and that was my original plan but since things are working fine with ADAT and the setup is easier, I think I'll just keep doing it that way. Would any of you recommend NOT doing this? If so I'd be interested in your reasoning.

My mobile rig:
(3) Behringer ADA8000's
(1) Profire Lightbridge
(1) MacBook
(1) Behringer DDX3216

So if I go out and buy a Lightbridge and M-Powered 7.3 software today, I'll be able to hook up to an SSL Alphalink 24 channel ADA and get all 24 channels simultaneously? And this will work as long as I don't use the CS upgrade?

One more thing which I don't think has been covered yet.

IT'S MULTI CLIENT CAPABLE.

I run pro tools and cubase 4 at the same time, both with full access to all the I/O at once.

I run with 24 outs to my mackie d8b, first 8 ins back from tape outs 1-8 from the desk. Profire inputs 9-16 are connected to an emu E-Synth ultras adat outs, and finally outputs 25-32 are connected to inputs 25-32 with a single fiber looped back.

This last piece allows me to pipe audio back and forth between pro tools and cubase for live processing.

I so need latency compensation, but I work around it with track offsets
Good lord. I don't quite get why I'd want to do that, but isn't it just sick how capable this box is? It makes me want to run out and buy one - if only I had something to plug into it!

You're wrong about that. The Music Production Toolkit works just fine with MPowered.

The DVToolkit 2, on the other hand does not work with MPowered. Perhaps that is what you were thinking about?
