7.4.5.3 32 Channels of Analog I/O AND 32 Channels of Digital I/O
For this configuration you will need two Aurora 16s. They should be configured, in order, as
Devices 0 – 1. All Analog I/O and AES/EBU on both Auroras will be connected to signal
sources and destinations.

7.4.5.4 16 Channels of AES I/O, No Analog
For this configuration you will need one Aurora 16 that should be configured as a single unit.
Only the Digital I/O on the Aurora will be connected to signal sources and destinations.

8 Clock Settings
In any audio system with more than one digital device, it is ideal for one master clock to provide
synchronization to all connected devices. There are several options for configuring the Aurora to
send or receive a clock signal within a MADI environment.
MADI equipment and other digital devices can slave to the sample clock generated by the
Aurora, or the Aurora can be configured to receive clock from other digital devices. It is also
possible to have a dedicated clock source that provides clock to both the Aurora and every other
digitally connected device. In fact, if more than two digital I/O devices will be integrated into
your system, we strongly recommend using some form of clock distribution to insure proper
clock synchronization.
