At 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates, you will only need to use 1 optical port for
all 8 channels, with the second port simply acting as a duplicate or split. At
88.2 and 96kHz, you will need to use both optical ports in order to access all 8
channels as higher sample rates will limit the channel count to 4 channels per
port.
The EVO SP8 also includes a BNC Word Clock Input which allows you to clock
the SP8 from another device. You can set the SP8 to use the Word Clock Input
as your Clock Source in the Setup Menu of the interface.
The Word Clock Input also has switchable 75 Ohm Termination which can be
enabled in the Setup Menu. More information about when you may need to use
75 Ohm Termination can be found in the clocking conguration section.
EVO SP8 features two Optical Inputs and two Optical Outputs that use ADAT.
This allows you to send the audio from your preamps to your host interface
as well as receive up to 8 channels and send this out via the Analogue Line
Outputs.
