Topic: Will this SC to LC cable work for 12Mic and UFX III?

Hi, I am trying to connect 12Mic and UFX III with MADI. I ordered the RME SC to LC cable but am worried it won't arrive in time for my gig. Will this one also work even though it says 1300nm, not 1310nm?

Also, sorry basic question, with MADI, will I be able to use TotalMix on computer to control 12Mic gain?

Thanks!
Larry

Hi Larry,

https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=39573 ]

So finally, you decided to get an UFX III, good choice! To your questions..

1- Cabling

RME uses 1310 nm for multimode with their transceivers. You can use any OM3 or OM4 multimode cable.
You should only stick to one type if you have structured in-house cabling,
so that OM3 and OM4 do not mix between 2 devices; otherwise you get higher dampening.

2- Auxdevice Support for 12Mic

With the latest TM FX version 1.97b1 you have Auxdevice for 12Mic.
See the RME sticky posting: https://forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=40049

If Windows:
- save your workspace for safety reasons
- download the TM FX binary
- quit TM FX, replace the binary in C:\windows\system32, re-start TM FX

3- Setting up Auxdevice for 12Mic - Example

See here how to set it up with a few screenshots:

Friendly reminder:
you can only use 1 remote control protocol at once, otherwise you get issues, so either Auxdevice or RME Connector, not both!
