Connecting Loop Sync

If you are using two (or more) Pro Tools audio interfaces or a SYNC peripheral, Loop Sync must be
connected to maintain proper clock among the devices. For an example of multiple audio interfaces,
see Figure 2 below. (For examples that include a SYNC peripheral, see the

SYNC HD Guide.

)

To make Loop Sync connections:

1

Connect the Loop Sync Out of each interface to the Loop Sync In of the next interface with BNC

cables (included with each audio interface).

2

Connect the Loop Sync Out of the last interface to the Loop Sync In of the primary interface.
