Change the clock setting on the AD16X to word clock in. This will force the AD16X to slave to the word clock from
the AES16. Change the clock setting on the D/A converter to select one of its AES/EBU inputs as the clock source.
Alternatively, if a word clock is connected to the D/A, set the clock source appropriately.
Additional Setups with Apogee Converters
It is also possible for the AD16X to be the system clock master for the AES16 and D/A converter. Since the CBL-
AES1603 cable does not have a BNC connection for an external word clock input, the AES16 must use one of its
digital inputs to derive a clock source. In this case, the Sample Clock Source setting in the Lynx Mixer Adapter
window should be set to Digital In 1. The AD16X should be set to use its internal clock, and the 8-channel D/A
converter should be set to receive clock from one of its AES/EBU inputs, or from word clock if the AD16X word
clock output is connected to the D/A converter’s word clock input.
If 16 channels of D/A and 8 channels of A/D conversion are required, an Apogee DA16X can be used with some
other 8-channel Analog-to-Digital converter. In this case:
• Connect the DA16X and CBL-AES1603 to I/O Port B, and the A/D converter and CBL-AES1604 to I/O Port
A.
• Set the I/O Port B configuration jumper to 8CHNL mode. Set the I/O Port A jumper to 4/4 CHNL mode.
• The XLR connectors representing outputs on the CBL-AES1604 cable must NOT be connected for similar
reasons as described above.
