Firface 800 ADAT connection

jgrif08 · 29th March 2006

Can I use the ADAT outs on the back of my Fireface to connect to my Roland monitors? The monitors have the ADAT input but when I connect it to the Fireface ADAT out i get no sound. Is there some setting in the Fireface software that I need to mess with to get it to work? Not real sure what im doing wrong here.

I suspect the lightpipe on your monitors are 2 channel SPDIF...not ADAT.

So...no.

Besides I am sure the RME converters will sound leauges above the converters on your Rolands.

Good luck bro,

Much Respect,
