Focusrite Clarett+ OctoPre User Manual

ADAT-TO-LINE MODE
Selecting ADAT>LINE mode ([12] on the front panel) reassigns the eight sources feeding the
analogue LINE OUTPUTS D-sub connector [20]. In normal operation, the mic preamplifier output
channels are available at this D-sub connector; in ADAT>LINE mode, the ADAT digital signals at the
OPTICAL IN port(s) feed the D-sub connector, after D-to-A conversion.
This mode allows you to use the Clarett+ OctoPre to connect an 8-channel ADAT format output (from
a DAW, for example) to a set of analogue inputs. For example, you can send the channels from your
DAW to outboard equipment to use as part of your mixing process.
When ADAT>LINE mode is enabled, the eight Clarett microphone preamplifiers are still operational,
and their outputs remain available at the OPTICAL OUT ports.
