Topic: FIREFACE 802 and 2 Audient ASP880
I've never used word clock before and need some help to connect my Fireface 802 as master and 2 Audient ASP880 preamps as slaves.
Can someone confirm that what Audient website recommands is right ?

Two ASP880 mic pre (Slaves) and an RME Fireface 800 audio interface (Master) connected via ADAT along with BNC word clock outputs.
The Fireface 800 has a word clock output on the unit and so can work with the word clock input of the ASP880s. By connecting a BNC cable with a T piece on the end to the first ASP880 making sure to set the clock mode to external on the back of the unit. The other side of the T piece should be connected to the second ASP880 (again with the clock mode set to external), however with this device it needs to be terminated properly with a 75Ω resistance across the cable, which in the case of the ASP880 means pressing a button on the back of the unit (to prevent reflection of the clock signal). Connecting the devices in this way allow the Fireface to change its sample rate to match a DAW project automatically along with the sample rates of the connected slave devices. There would be no need to manually change the sample rates on any of the devices.
