[QUOTE="Per SÃ¸vik, post: 93269, member: 1285"] Re: Digital Split/monitor desk Yes, one of the consoles need to be synced to AES50, and it is natural that the FOH board is the slave although it should work the other way around as well (but it would be rather pointless and in many cases counter-productive to have the FOH as sync. master). And of course both boards need to be at the same sample rate. There is a problem with this approach, you need to use up inputs in the monitor desk to get it done.
