Focusrite sound Saffire PRO Range Dual Unit

Master Sync Device

When dual Safﬁre devices are connected to one computer via FireWire, the two devices will automatically sync together with no

need for any additional cable connections. However one device will be set as the Master Sync Device.

Click on the settings menu to select which unit is the Sync Master.

Master Slave

Sample rate and digital sync settings can only be set when Safﬁre MixControl has control of the Master Sync Device. When

controlling the slave device, sample rate and sync status are greyed out.

When connecting any external digital devices, the external sync source (Word Clock, ADAT or S/PDIF) must always be connected

to the Master Sync Device. If additional digital units are connected, then they must also be slaved to the device providing sync

to the Master Sync Device. If the Master device is providing an external sync source to a digital unit, then the digital unit can be

connected to either master or slave device.

DAW input and output stream order

The input and output streams of both units will be combined into a single list when viewed from the DAW, or as seen by the

operating system audio preferences when outputting sound from iTunes/Windows Media Player.

Each connected Safﬁre will have a (ﬁxed) hardware ID. Inputs and outputs from the Safﬁre with the lowest hardware ID will

always appear ﬁrst in the list.

Mac Users: Click on “About Safﬁre MixControl” from the ‘Safﬁre MixControl” menu to ﬁnd the hardware ID of the unit currently

in focus.

Windows Users: Click on “About Safﬁre MixControl” from the

“Help” menu to ﬁnd the hardware ID of the unit currently in

focus.
