Digital Setup
- M350 as Insert
This setup is ideal if you are using the M350
as a digital insert effect on your hard disk
recording system.
This setup requires that you are using an
I/O card with S/PDIF In/Out.
• Select Serial Routing by leaving the
ROUTING switch on the rear panel in “out”
position.
• Connect the M350’s S/PDIF digital out to the
digital input on your soundcard.
• Connect the digital out on your soundcard to
the digital in on the M350.
• Set your soundcard to act as master clock.
There can be different names for this setting,
but “Internal Clock”, “Internal Sync” or
“Master” are commonly used terms.
(This is probably set via you hard disk
recording program. Please refer to its
owner's manual.)
• Press the DIGI IN button on the M350.
• If the DIGI IN LED is green, the M350 is
locked correctly on the digital input signal.
• If the LED is flashing, digital in is selected
but no digital signal is received within 5
seconds, or the signal is corrupt.
The M350 automatically returns to internal
clock and analog operation but will continue
to look for digital signal, and the DIGI IN LED
on the front panel will keep blinking.
Check cables and make sure that your
soundcard is set as master.
• Once set up, you can use the M350 as a
plug-in on your hard disk recording system, if
this function is supported on your system.
