Topic: External inputs via AES EBU on the new ucx II
Hello,
I am musician from belgium, currently interested in the new UCX II in replacement of my scarlett 18i8. I want to have more information on those AES EBU inputs/outputs. How can I use it to connect an external preamp to the UCX II while setting the UCX II as master? Does it work the same way as ADAT (adat out of the external preamp to adat in of the audio interface for audio and adat out of the audio interface to adat in of the external preamp for synchronisation)? Can I use the RME BO-968 (https://www.thomann.de/be/rme_bo968_aes … s_166939_3) the same way as I'll do with adat?
I hope my question makes sense since my knowledge in digital audio protocols is very (very) limited
Thank in advance for your answers and have a nice day
P.S.: using the WC connections of the UCX II are probably out of the picture since they'll probably be used by other devices without ADAT out.
