receives information about the sample rate it still
provides the actual digital clock.

Prevent from changing sample rate
When any application in your system, operating systems
alert sounds, Itunes etc. play a sound it will in most
cases try to set the sample rate of your sound
card/Konnekt. If you are trying to make music, this is not
what you want. To prevent these interruptions we have
therefore made the following options available.

WDM:
With this option selected, your DAW project (e.g. Cubase
LE4) sets the current sample rate and no Windows alert
sounds or media-players will accidentally change the
sample rate.

WDM+ASIO:
With this option selected, the sample rate is set solely in
the TC Near Control Panel (see previous page).

NONE:
With this option selected, any application, Windows
sound, DAW project etc. is allowed to change the current
sample rate.

DPC Safety Buffers (PC only)
Numerous things in a computer system may cause DPC
spikes. Spikes, that momentarily may cause your
application (Itunes, Cubase etc.) to stop playing.
Therefore it is possible to set a safety buffer level
preventing these spikes.

Select between:
Normal
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3

Use only as high a buffer level as necessary as the system
latency increases with the buffer level.

Again we have to stress that not only does Studio
Konnekt 48 provide a high quality clock but it also
facilitates excellent jitter-elimination that will clean up a
less than perfect digital signal from an external source
such as a CD player.

The CD player is connected to “SK48 No1” via Tos-
link (optical S/PDIF).

“SK48 No1” is selected as Clock Master on the
System Settings page and Sync Source is set to
Optical S/PDIF.

The R4000 is connected to the other Konnekt in the
setup (SK48 No2) and it is set to slave to “S/PDIF
1/2”.

Sample Rate
If Sync Source is set to “Internal”, the sample rate
must be set. The options are:

44.1 kHz
48 kHz
88.2 kHz
96 kHz
176.4 kHz

(mixer not available)

192 kHz

(mixer not available)

Typically the sample rate is set by your host
application. If you e.g. play a 44.1 kHz project the
sample rate automatically shifts to 44.1 kHz. If you
later load and play a 48 kHz song, the sample rate
shifts to 48 kHz.
Please note that even though Studio Konnekt 48
