MOTU FIREWIRE AUDIO CONSOLE (MAC OS X)
41
Figure 5-2: The Mac OS X sound preferences let you use the 896HD for
general stereo audio input and output for your Mac.
The Default Stereo Input and Default Stereo Output
settings in the MOTU FireWire Console
(Figure 5-1 on page 38) let you specify the stereo
input and output on the 896HD to be used when it
is chosen as the audio I/O device in the system
preferences.
Note: The Default Stereo Input/Output
settings have the following system software
requirements:
Mac OS X 10.2.x together with QuickTime 6.4
OR
Mac OS X 10.3 (aka Panther) or later
If your Macintosh system software does not meet
these minimum requirements, the Default Stereo
Input/Output options do not appear in the MOTU
FireWire Console window.
Optical input/output
The Optical input and Optical output settings let
you choose between ADAT (‘lightpipe’) or OFF.
Tur n in g it of f f re es up FireWire bandwidth. In
other words, it opens up resources on the FireWire
bus for other devices connected via FireWire.
Phones
The Phones setting lets you choose what you will
hear from the headphone jack. Choose Main Outs
if youd like the headphone output to match the
main outs. Choose Phones if you would like the
headphones to serve as their own independent
output, which you can access as an independent
output destination in your host audio software and
as an output destination for the four on-board
CueMix DSP mix busses.
At the 4x sample rates (176.4 and 192kHz), the
headphone output can be assigned to any analog
output pair or the Phones setting, as described
above. But at the 4x sample rates, the Phones
output is not available as an output destination for
software on the computer. Instead, it is only
available as a destination for the two CueMix DSP
mixes. In other words, it can only take CueMix
inputs.
Sample Rate Conversion
This option lets you control AES/EBU sample rate
conversion. Sample rate conversion is available
when the 896HD is operating at the 1x sample rates
(44.1 and 48kHz) or the 2x sample rates (88.2 or
96kHz). AES/EBU is disabled entirely at the 4x
samples rates (176.4 and 192kHz). Each option is
explained below.
