S/PDIF Output Mix (unit 2)
Click on the second mixer tab.
Ensure that the mixer output is stereo by clicking on the stereo button (below the meters of the output channel).
The input configuration will be the same as in the first mixer, set the levels and panning as required.
The S/PDIF input to the mixer should be MUTED (this prevents feedback).
Rename the mix to “S/PDIF Mix” (or similar) by clicking on the name field (below the meters of the output channel).
The S/PDIF output Mix will just be a mix of the audio inputs on unit 2. The S/PDIF input will be muted to avoid feedback, and the mix
will be sent out of the S/PDIF output to unit 1. The configuration is as follows:
Alternative options
The above set-ups allow mixing and monitoring of only the analogue inputs connected to both Saffire PRO 40s. 8 channels of
analogue plus 2 channels of S/PDIF use a total of 10 mixer channels. There are an additional 8 channels that can be used to mix and
monitor additional signal sources - whether it be DAW outputs or ADAT inputs. Simply add these to both the MONITOR Mix and S/
PDIF Mix.
By selecting ADAT or analogue inputs/outputs rather than S/PDIF inputs/outputs, it is possible to achieve latency-free monitoring
via either ADAT or the analogue inputs/outputs if desired.
It is also possible to send individual audio channels between the units, rather than a stereo mix of inputs. This can be done by
selecting individual inputs in the routing panel in the bottom left-hand corner of MixControl, rather than the mixes created above.
