INSTALLING THE 4PRE HARDWARE
26
CONNECT MULTIPLE MOTU INTERFACES
You can daisy-chain up to three MOTU FireWire
interfaces on a single FireWire bus, with the
restrictions described in the following sections.
Most computers have only one built-in FireWire
bus (even if it supplies multiple FireWire sockets).
Figure 4-5: Connecting multiple MOTU FireWire audio interfaces.
Multiple interfaces cannot be bus-powered
Do not run the 4pre under bus power when
connecting it with other devices to the same
FireWire bus. See “Power options” and “Bus power
requirements” on page 23.
Multiple interfaces in MOTU Audio Console
MOTU Audio Console displays the settings for one
interface at a time. To view the settings for an
interface, click its tab as shown below in Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6: To view the settings for an interface, click its tab.
Synchronizing multiple interfaces
When multiple MOTU interfaces are connected,
choose a Master Clock Source from the menu in the
General tab (Figure 4-7). You can choose any
available sync source from any connected interface
(as shown in Figure 4-7), giving you a great deal of
flexibility in choosing a clock source.
A separate Clock menu is provided for any
interfaces not chosen as the master clock source, as
demonstrated with the 828mk3 Hybrid in
Figure 4-7. You can either resolve the interface to
the Master Clock Source or to one of its own digital
inputs or other sync sources. The latter scenario is
useful for externally resolving the interface with the
the interface chosen as the Master Clock Source.
Figure 4-7: Choosing clock sources with multiple interfaces.
Connecting other MOTU FireWire interfaces
You can mix and match multiple 4pre interfaces
with other MOTU FireWire interfaces using a
standard FireWire hub. You can daisy-chain
828mkIIs, 828mk3s, 896HDs, 896mk3’s, Travelers,
and Traveler-mk3s, which all have two FireWire
ports convenient for daisy-chaining. Up to four
interfaces can be combined on one FireWire bus.
