Clarett+ OctoPre
Clarett 8+Pre
Here the OPTICAL OUT on the Clarett+ OctoPre is connected to OPTICAL IN on a Focusrite Clarett+
8Pre audio interface with a single optical cable. Both units are running at 44.1 kHz sample rate.
The OctoPre’s clock source is set to INTERNAL, and the 8Pre is synchronised to it because its clock
source is set to ADAT (via Focusrite Control).
This setup would, for example, enable up to 16 mic or line sources to be recorded in a DAW
simultaneously, and would be ideal for recording a live band.

Clock set to W/Clock via the front panel
Clock set to Internal via Focusrite Control
Clarett+ OctoPre
Clarett+ 8Pre
Here OPTICAL OUT on the Clarett+ OctoPre is connected to OPTICAL IN on a Focusrite Clarett+
8Pre audio interface with a single optical cable. Both units are running at 44.1kHz sample rate.
The OctoPre’s clock source is set to W/CLOCK, and its WORD CLOCK IN input is connected to
WORD CLOCK OUT on the Clarett+ 8Pre with a BNC cable. The Clarett+ 8Pre’s clock source is set
to INTERNAL (via Focusrite Control), making it the sync leader. It would also be appropriate for any
other audio interface which has an ADAT input and a word clock output.
