Best way to feed FXI60 from M-Audio 192 soundcard

[duckfan98]

Any help? What are your suggestions:


- Analog (L/R audio out 192 card into L/R fxi inputs)
- Digital (via digital coax rca from 192 card into optical digital on fxi?)
- Composite (if so, how do I do composite from 192 card into the Fxi exciter???)

Where is the processor?

Sorry,

Processor is at the tower location (Breakaway)

you will need a cable with 1/4 phone on one end and bnc on the other end to feed the exciter.breakaway does mpx on both R/L output on the card,only one is required.If you use an external SG you can just use the L/R output into the L/R on the exciter.you really should consider getting the Marian trace alpha card for best performance and no overshoots.I used a mod M192,but still had occassional overshoots,so i changed to the Marian.

I am currently using the L/R out into the L/R in on the exciter, since the Fxi60 has a built in stereo generator..... however, Leif said that I should not be using the L/R....not quite sure why. He said I need to use composite input on the exciter (even though I have a SG in the exciter?....)

Does this make sense to anyone?

I am thinking about using the Digital out from the 192 card into the Digital (aes) input on the exciter, cleaner signal I assume?

I would go AES out to in and use the SG in the exciter.

Of course, there may be some disadvantage we don't know about using Breakaway this way.

Breakaway IS a stereo generator as well. And a darn good one too! You will definately get the best result bypassing your built-in SG. Just choose your M-audio at the MPX-Out setting in Breakaway.
Did you calibrate the output? If not you will have overshoots. But I guess you'll have those too when using the built-in SG...

 

[duckfan98]

If i use the stereo gen in breakaway, will the digital output work on the card? Doesnt it have to be 192khz?

Some of this is answered by Leif in my thread.

Unless you have the Marian Trace soundcard, I would not use Breakaway on air. And I would get a better solution for a Stereo generator if you don't use the recommended soundcard.
