Many audio interfaces have wordclock termination but nowhere on the Steinberg info does it state the MR816X has it.
#Bnc word clock cable generator#
You are terminating the pulse signal coming from the wordclock generator that is flowing down the BNC cable. You aren't terminating outputs or inputs. It's pointless to terminate the WC output. Ok thanks! But just to clarify things, only the wordclock input on the interface would need to be terminated according to another forum. Maybe the Steinberg has a jumper inside, I don't know. So, I don't know if I need to buy a terminator at all. I don't need the T connector when I'm only using one cable.ĭamar & Hagen 1-8566-13120-1 – Thomann UK According to Mytek, if the cable is short, and it's just one cable and two devices, then I shouldn't terminate it.Īnd surely I would only need this type of terminator. So that one cable would terminate itself, or something like that (don't remember exactly.) I'm just saying what I learned from that other thread. So in other words, I'm only using one BNC cable.
I only have my Steinberg interface, My Mytek ADC and my Cranesong DAC. Second of all, termination is for big systems. The Avocet doesn't have a wordclock input as it syncs to whatever digital input signal it is receiving.Ok thanks! But just to clarify things, only the wordclock input on the interface would need to be terminated according to another forum. The other side of the T connector (the one not connected to the Mytek and the one not connected to the Steinberg) has the 75ohm terminator put on it.
If the Mytek is the master, the BNC cable goes from the output of the Mytek wordclock to the Steinberg wordclock input which needs a T connector hooked to the wordclock input of the Steinberg. And according to a video I watched today, I think I only need 1 wordclock cable, as it's a one way system. I was thinking about ordering 2, but if I only need 1, then I'll just do that instead. Ok, so I only need 1 of them, and I only need to connect it to the wordclock OUTPUT on my Mytek ADC. I'm going to order one of those terminators just to be safe. But then you have a long run unterminated which is not advisable.Thank you so much! Your comment was very helpful! Using Y splits will often be fine again for short runs but you should not try to drive 2 long cables via a Y split and terminate both. Sometimes there's a switch next to the connector, sometimes wordclock passes through and you would fit a 75Ω BNC/resistor to the output. Not sure whether your kit has built in termination.
The longer the cable, the greater the attenuation and the potential for reflections. Similarly, termination is often not necessary over short cables, but again it's generally good form to terminate.Ĭables longer than just a few metres should always be terminated. Wordclock has an impedance of 75Ω although it will work over short distances over almost any type of cable (this is NOT a recommendation, just an FYI).
