Sample Rate ('RATE' Button)
When CLOCK is set for internal, MX 16 is the clock master and the RATE button sets the sample rate.
When CLOCK is set for WORD or MADI, MX 16 is a slave and hence the RATE button defines the expected sample rate
received on the MADI stream. This is required when using legacy pattern because sample rate information cannot be
determined from the MADI stream.
Press the RATE button to step through each possible sample rate:
44.1kHz
The relevant Fs rate indicator will illuminate RED if the selected rate does not match the selected clock source.
Many MADI devices, when running at 2Fs or 4Fs rates, can operate in either of two different MADI patterns.
This choice is between 'High Speed' or 'Legacy (SMUX)' – see opposite for setting these options with MX 16.
The differences between the two MADI patternsare beyond the scope of this manual but needless to say it is
important to check that your MX 16 and the connected MADI device are set to the same MADI pattern when
working at sample rates above Fs.
