Using the Control Panel

2. S/PDIF or ADAT. Use one of these settings if you have

attached either a S/PDIF or ADAT device.

If you have attached more than one of these devices,

synchronize their clocks using dedicated cables; then choose

one of the as the clock master.

Note that ADAT2 on the IO|26 cannot be the clock master.

If you are only using one ADAT input on the IO|26, use the

first input. If you are using both ADAT1 and ADAT2 with

two different hardware devices, be sure to clock one device to

the other.

3. FIREWIRE. Use this setting if you have another Firewire

audio devices connected to the IO14/26 and you want that

device’s clock to drive the IO14/26’s clock. No additional

cables are necessary—the IO14/26 will read the clock signal

coming from the other device over the Firewire cable.

Your IO|14/26 includes a state-of-the-art clock recovery circuit

that generally eliminates clocking-induced glitch artifacts even

when clock sources are incorrectly assigned. Nevertheless, do take

care to assign the clock source correctly. Otherwise, sample

accuracy is likely to suffer.

9. Set the sample rate

Set the sample rate here. Note that this setting must be made even

if you are using an external device (ADAT, S/PDIF or Firewire) as

your clock master.

Some audio programs require that you change the sample rate

under their Project Setup or similar menus as well. For instance, in

Cubase, be sure that the sample rate selected here matches that

under the “Project” | “Project Setup…” menu.

When you use two or three

digital input sources, lock the

devices together. Most

commonly, you will use the

devices’ BNC Word Clock

connectors for this purpose.

Start with one device and

cable its Word Clock Output

to the Word Clock Input of

the second device. If you

have a third device, connect

the second device’s Word

Clock Output to the third

device’s Word Clock Input.

For each device, if there is a

“master/slave” setting, be

sure to set it appropriately.

(Only the first device in the

chain should be the

“master.”)

There are other ways to lock

your clocks together, such as

using a dedicated clock

distribution hardware device.

However, the method

outlined here is perfectly fine,

as well as being the most

simple and economical.

To ensure S/PDIF lock, set

the clock source and sample

rate in the Alesis control

panel before

connecting,

powering on, or changing the

sample rate of your S/PDIF

device.
