Motu 828 (Mk1 and BLA microclock compatability

Post by Appalachian Boy »

So, this question might be obvious (I wouldn't know). I am wondering if it is possible to connect 2 motu 828 MK1s to the Black lion Audio Microclock? I see no BNC port on the back of the motus, just spdif, lightpipe, and aes/ebu. I have heard good reviews about this master clock, and i cant afford to upgrade to a newer/better A/D/A converter.

Also any thoughts on the Microclock?

Thanks,
James

The 828 Original has neither word clock nor AES/EBU I/O. If the Micro Clock has only BNC word clock outputs, then it can not be directly connected to the 828.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.
