[QUOTE="Craig Basten, post: 88508, member: 1197"] Re: Questions for 01V power users (hi Brian) ADAT carries clock signal in addition to the eight digital audio channels. So, on outputs, there is no need for an additional sync cable. I believe this is also the case on units that have inputs and outputs, no need for an additional wordclock BNC as long as you're outputting optical to the unit. In my case where I have separate boxes for inputs and outputs, that BNC cable is absolutely required. (for the D8 only). The only way around it would be to slave the desk to the D8 internal clock which I won't do under any circumstance. Long story short, for the DEQ830 the optical cable is the only one you need. Edit: BNC wordclock is still the more reliable method if the device you're using has a facility for it. The DEQ830 does not but works fine. If I was using an 8-in, 8-out unit I would still use BNC even though it's not technically necessary. Any hiccup in sync and you lose audio on the outboard device. [/QUOTE]
