Topic: Link Two Multifaces and SYNC with ADAt Mixer

Hello!

I want help to configure my hardware sync correctly, i apologize if my english is not the best!

I've got two multifaces: one multiface I and one multiface II with two hdsp's cards (black one for multiface II and grey one for multiface I).

1) ¿should I set up one as master and another as slave? Should I connect them with wordclock?

2) my mixer (tlaudio m424) has an adat in/out for 8 channels and wordclock in/out. In Wich multiface should I connect it? ¿I set it up as slave connecting his wordclock in to my 'master' multiface out? (in this case i can't connect my two multiface in wordclock sync because my master has only one wordclock out).... Or should i connect the mixer as master?

Please help,

Thankyou! and congratulations for an excelent product.

Re: Link Two Multifaces and SYNC with ADAt Mixer

Reading another posts i think one correct configurarion is:

Wordclock connections:
Multiface Master OUT>>>>IN Multiface Slave OUT >>>> Tl Audio m4 IN (doesnt have master/slave switch)

Adat connections:
Tlaudio OUT>>>>>> MUltiface IN
Multiface OUT>>>>>>>> TlAudio M4 IN

With this configuration I think my Multiface A is the master and the other elements are slaves.

It's the best configuration?

More information:

I want 24 recording tracks and 24 playbacks in my Mixer.

Mixer 1-8 channels:
Direct Out>>>>>>Multiface A analog IN
Line In<<<<<<<<Multiface A analog OUT

Mixer 9-16 channels:
Direct Out>>>>>>Multiface B analog IN
Line In<<<<<<<<Multiface B analog OUT

Mixer 17-24 channels:
ADAT OUT (tl audio do-8*)>>>>>>>>>Multiface A or B ADAT IN
ADAT IN<<<<<<<<<<<<Multiface A or B ADAT OUT

1) What master clock do you recommend for playback and recording operations?

2) How to connect BNC cables?

Re: Link Two Multifaces and SYNC with ADAt Mixer

Hi,
You can use any device as clock master, be shure to set the following devices to slave mode.
The devices connected via adat can also clocked within the same connection (self-clocked signal via adat).

Mixer adat out->multiface a adat in
Mixer wordclock out->multiface b wordclock in
(Both Multiface set to wordclock slave)

Or

Multiface a adat out->mixer adat in
Multiface a wordclock out->multiface b wordclock in
(Multiface a wordclock master)

Hello urban, thanks!

I have to sync with bnc wordclock the two multifaces according to RME FAQ page, so:

In first option, can I link multiface A WC OUT with multiface B WC IN? Is that the same signal that the mixer sends?

And in second option, can I link  the mixer WC OUT with the multiface WC IN? Is that the same signal that the multiface A sends?

Re: Link Two Multifaces and SYNC with ADAt Mixer

Yes, i think the wc signal is even refreshed in the multiface.
At the end of the chain you have to terminate the signal. I don't know if the multiface has a switch for that, look in the manual. There are also some interresting technical backrounds in the manual.

In the manual says that mutiface is unterminated. I've been readin some articles and forums and I will try this with 'BNC tees':

                                             >>>>>>Multiface B WC IN
MultiA WC OUT>>BNC>> BNC T.                                                   >>>>>Mixer WC IN
                                             >>>>>>BNC>>>>>>>>>>>BNC T
                                                                                                    >>>>> 75 OHm terminat
