MOTU FIREWIRE AUDIO CONSOLE

‘GENERAL’ TAB SETTINGS

Sample Rate

Choose the desired Sample Rate for recording and

playback. The 896HD can operate at 44.1 (the

standard rate for compact disc audio), 48, 88.2, 96,

176.4 or 192KHz. If you are operating at a sample

rate between 44.1 and 96kHz, make absolutely sure

that all of the devices connected digitally to the

896HD match the 896HD’s sample rate. Also make

sure that your Digital Timepiece, MIDI

Timepiece AV or other digital audio synchronizer

matches it as well. At the 4x sample rates (176.4 or

192kHz), all digital I/O on the 896HD is disabled.

☛ Mismatched sample rates cause distortion and

crackling. If you hear this sort of thing, check the

sample rate settings in your hardware and here in

the MOTU FireWire Audio Console.

Operation at 4x sample rates (176.4 or 192kHz)

At the 4x sample rates (176.4 or 192kHz),

operation of the 896HD is restricted, due to the

higher audio bandwidth demands, as follows:

■ All digital I/O is disabled (there is no optical and

no AES/EBU input/output).

■ The 896HD provides 8 channels of analog input

and 10 channels of analog output (8 XLR outputs

plus stereo headphone out), simultaneously.

■ CueMix DSP supports 2 independent monitor

mixes (instead of 4, as with the lower sample rates).

For details about CueMix DSP, see chapter 9,

“CueMix Console” (page 65).

■ The Mix1 input, as described in “Mix1 1-2” on

page 64, is not available.

Figure 5-1: The MOTU FireWire Audio Console gives you access to all of the settings in the 896HD hardware.
