The munual said be set it to gets its clock from external source via port B.

Hi Yosuke

In a digital mic split system 1 system has to be the clock master and the other system will have to be a slave system that recieves its audio clock from the master.

I am assuming you are using ACE to connect each mixrack via PORT B?

you set the audio clock source in the mixrack setup - mixer preferences audio - sync page.

set the system you want to be the Audio clock master to: Internal

Set the system you wish to be the slave as: Port B

if you cannot see port B available in the drop down menu this means that nothing is fitted to the Port B Slot or there is a fault with the Port B Module. In this case please contact A&H Technical support who will help you resolve your issue.

Hope this helps

Hello Sam.

Thank you for your advice.

Each mixrack are connected via PORTB useing ACE.

Now the Slave mixrack has be set as port B from mixer preferences.

I have one question. What is “Audio Sync”?

What if Audio Sync is not set?

Because iLive has being working well without Audio Sync setting.

Yosuke,

Audio sync is the source were your WC (word clock) is coming from.

It is simular to a army that marches.

One guy sets the rythem, if he doesn’t do this it becomes a mess!

so if you digitally link 2 devices (thru ACE) (both of the machine’s have a guy who gives the rythem) you have to tell the devices wich one is setting the rythem.

This is what you select in audio source!

Your expression is easy to image Audio Sync.

Thank you so much.
