Wordclocks Wordclocks For proper AD conversion and digital audio data transmission and reception, the D8HRs and external digital audio devices must lock to an identical wordclock. The AD8HR is capable of transmitting a wordclock signal of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz, you can use the AD8HR as the wordclock master and the external devices as wordclock slaves. The AD8HR can also lock to the wordclock signal received at the [DIGITAL OUT A] connector or [WORD CLOCK IN] connector. AES/EBU C
