Driver Specifications
• The MERGING+NADAC RAVENNA ASIO driver supports sample rates from 44.1kHz up to 8FS, 384 kHz,
DXD, DSD64, and DSD128 & DSD256.
• MERGING+NADAC will follow the sample rate changes provided by the ASIO host.
• The ASIO Driver is not multi-client i.e. it cannot be used with several applications at the same time. Only
one application at a time can use the ASIO Driver on the same system.
• A separate sound card for other Windows applications is recommended.
Installation Procedure
1. If you are updating the ASIO driver rather than installing it for the first time, we recommend that you
uninstall the old driver first and restart the computer before proceeding. If you are unsure how to
uninstall the old ASIO driver, please consult your Merging Technologies reseller.
2. Download the MERGING+NADAC RAVENNA ASIO driver installer for Windows from here.
The file you
want will be in the section titled LATEST DOWNLOADS and the file name will start with NADAC driver and
have an .exe extension.
3. Launch the MERGING+NADAC RAVENNA ASIO driver installer file. The installer may notify you that other
items also need to be installed (Bonjour & Microsoft Redistributable C++). Accept these and proceed
with the installation.
4. When installation is complete, accept the software license agreement.
5. Restart the computer.
6. When the computer has rebooted open the NADAC RAVENNA ASIO Panel. For Windows 10 you will find
this by opening the following links: Windows Start Menu - All Apps > Merging Technologies >
NADAC Panel. It will be slightly different for earlier versions of Windows. This will open the NADAC
Ravenna ASIO panel - Figure 54.
This panel gives information about the status of the connection between the unit and your computer.
There are only two settings on this panel and in most cases the user will not need to make any changes.
These settings and the meanings of all the displays within the panel are explained below.
