There are several ways to integrate the Nucleus
2
mic pre’s & monitor section with an existing sound card setup.
O
n pages 6&7 there are example setups that use the Nucleus
2
o
ptical SPDIF and analogue I/O for connecting an external
s
ound card; an alternative is to use Dante Via.
D
ante Via is a soware that allows you to route audio sources on your computer to the Dante network (and therefore to
t
he Nucleus
2
D
ante soundcard). The example below shows how Pro Tools I/O can be used alongside Nucleus
2
;
outputs
1
and 2 of Pro Tools are going to Dante Via, and routed using Dante Controller to the Nucleus
2
m
onitoring section. The
N
ucleus
2
o
utputs 1 and 2 (from the SuperAnalogue mic pre’s) are routed over Dante to Dante Via, which routes them to
i
nputs 1 & 2 of Pro Tools.
