Input sample rate
All inputs have a stereo asynchronous sample rate conversion (ASRC) and accept sample rates
from 32 to 216 kHz. The sample rate converter will adapt the input sample rate to the selected
recording sample rate of your recording software (e.g. ProTools/Cubase). Each pair of channels
can have a different sample rate. (e.g. AES-EBU IN 1&2 @ 192k - > Converted to 96k recording
project).
Output sample rate
All outputs run at the sample rate selected in the playback software/OS. Only one sample rate
can be selected for all 8 output channels. The output sample rate ranges from 44.1~192kHz.
