DAW, and the DAW ‘Mix’ output routed to the monitor
outputs, you should connect channels 1&2 (on the

inputs and outputs. See image to the right
• Inputs and outputs 3&4 of Nucleus
2
are the SPDIF Left and
Right input and SPDIF Left and Right output respectively.
The SPDIF I/O on channels 3&4 is only available on the Dante Network at low sample rates (44.1/48kHz). At higher
sample rates (88.2/96kHz) only the analogue I/O on channels 1&2 will be available.
