Applies to: Clarett 2Pre & Clarett 8Pre
To connect a Clarett 8Pre to a Clarett 2Pre via ADAT we must first set up the Clarett 8Pre to be the Expansion unit and then the Clarett 2Pre to be the Host unit.
First connect the Clarett 8Pre to the computer, open Focusrite Control, and follow these steps:
1. Start in the Device Settings page and set the Sample Rate to what you intend to use. For our example we'll use 48kHz
2. Set the Clock Source to Internal.
3. Confirm that the unit is displaying "Locked".
4. Switch to the Output Routing page and assign the Analogue Inputs to the ADAT Outputs.
5. Disconnect the USB or Thunderbolt of the Clarett 8Pre, leaving it powered on.
6. Connect the USB or Thunderbolt of the Clarett 2Pre and power it on.
7. Connect your ADAT Out from the Clarett 8Pre to the ADAT In on the Clarett 2Pre.
8. Make sure the Sample Rate of the Clarett 2Pre matches the Sample Rate of the Clarett 8Pre.
9. Set the Clock Source to ADAT.
10. Confirm that the unit is displaying "Locked". This may take a moment
11. If you have a Custom Mix for your outputs, bring in the ADAT inputs as well.
You should now be set to utilize all 10 channels in your DAW. If you have any troubles with this process please Contact Technical Support.
