Topic: UFX II adat question

Hi

I have ufx II and an old focusrite saffire pro 40 and focusrite octopre mk2. I have some project where u need more than 8 outs, so i thought i would use pro 40 or octopre to expand outs. I was playing with both today, i only got inputs working on octopre (but not on pro 40). And couldn’t get output on any, signal shows for output shows on ufx II but nothing comes out from outputs on focusrite cards. Clock is set, settings in rme seems to me they are correct. Does anyone have any ideas, guidelines or anything that could me of help to me.

Thank you

Re: UFX II adat question

Octopre Mkii can not provide Outputs, it has no Adat input, The 8 output sockets on the backside are line analog outs from the mic pres directly, no digital connection here.
There is only adat output to provide the 8 mics via Adat to the interface.

Different situation at the focusrite saffire pro 40, this one has Adat input, providing 8 analog signals on output sockets.
Use this one but not the other one.

What is the sample rate ?
How is the Settings Dialog looking ?
Sure Adat is not set to SPDIF ?

You need two toslink cables, from output to input and back.

That is possible.
I don't know the mix control.
It should show you signals and offer a routing to the hardware outputs.
How did you set clock-mode in the UFX ? How in the Saffire ?
