Topic: Fireface UFX II with multiple ADAT devices

Hello,

I have a UFX II and I just purchased 2 Behringer ADA8200 to fully utilize the 16 extra ADAT channels.  I plan on the UFX being the main clock source, I'm wondering if this routing make sense as the most optimal setup if one opts not to use the BNC worldclock source?

The ADA8200's to be set to Slave (ADAT) mode.

UFX ADAT1 Out - > ADA8200 #1 ADAT In
UFX ADAT2 Out - > ADA8200 #2 ADAT In

ADA8200 #1 ADAT OUT - UFX ADAT1 In
ADA8200 #2 ADAT OUT - UFX ADAT2 In

Thank you!
Arnej

I read in this or another forum, that it's better to clock the ADA8200 via ADAT compared to WC,
as the WC implementation of the Behringers is not so good.

And the above cable routing is the best way to do it, via 4 optical cables, or can one get away with a more minimal cabling setup?

Yes, this is the only way.
