AES16 Clock Settings
To setup the AES16 as the system clock master, set Sample Clock Source in the Lynx Mixer Adapter
window to Internal.
External Equipment Clock Settings
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.
