OK thanks for this. I think the reason is that TOSLINK connections are only in one direction. So as the Behringer out goes to the Quantum in, it has to be master. Other way would be to have a second TOSLINK cable going from Quantum to the Behringer (as someone said below) or, use the separate BNC clock connection (either way, the Quantum can be the master then).
Great. As some others have mentioned if you get an additional two cables all of the settings work in all modes and the clock syncs as well. I did this recently and sure enough everything worked well together. Glad I could point you in the right direction though. That was my goal.
I have 5 hooked up to a Motu 2408 mk2 and mk3. I hooked both directions on the Ada and Motu. Such as adat out on ada to Motu in and Motu out to ada in. I can clock either way Motu can be slave or master and ada can be slave or master. I have 5 working flawless. You can also jump or loop the adat on the ada by making a loop with adat out to adat in on the ada unit and setting the unit to master and then you can use the analog outs instead of digital outs. Then the ada unit will route the signal from preamp in to analog out.
I was trying to setup the same thing and found that you need 4 cables to connect the ins and outs as without the the outs from the Quantum it cannot send the clock information to the Behringers. I originally had ins and outs connected on one Behringer and only an out on the other Behringer but could only use the second Behringer as the master, once connecting the extra cable I can now choose any configuration from Universal control.
Would be nice to be able to do the sync through word clock tho, but I think with this specific setup you could only do that with one of the behringers and not both. Not sure if there would be an actual advantage to that even if it was possible, as opposed of just sending the clock info through adat.
@@studiofauxreal1261 unfortunately there is very little responce on Presonus' site unless you make an official support query as it's primarily user driven. I tried to figure out if it was possible to use their studio live stage boxes as a soundcard via the AVB ethernet which they stated it was, but online sources says there is very little support in Windows for sound via ethernet so its most likely it doesn't work with whatever network you have built in your PC. I have no issues with Presonus products. Have had a 2in/out interface for some years and it has worked flawlessly but they could have a better and faster technical support.
I'm thinking of a similar setup but with the quantum 2626 to get very low thunderbolt latency and a lot of analogue line inputs for a cheap price. The other option is an rme digiface and a ada820 / ferrofish or audient asp800/880. The third option is to bit the bullet with a rme ufx II or III and hopefully it will prove reliable and supported for decades to come. How is your quantum support since it got discontinued? I saw a shootout on drums between RME preamps and ada8200 and I found them either identical of slightly preferred the behringer.
What is your opinion on the Behringer ADA 8200. Just found the ADA 8200 for a very reasonable price (half the price of a Presonus 1824c. and was looking right for what you showed here. A little odd you can't use 48k sample rate, but actually interested in how you find the Behringers preampss vs the Quantum, cause the 1824 ia basically the same interface just with usb-2 and only 1 set of adait io, but it would be a cheap way of getting 16 inputs instead of 8 and would make me able to record a whole band session at once.
The preamps on the Behringer works fine for me for now. Initially I wanted the same as you, the ability to track a whole band or fully mic a drum kit, and this was the cheapest way to get to that goal. Down the road I would like to replace those with Neve pres or something similar but that will be a while due to the cost. For now the Behringers are doing the job just fine. Do what you can with what you got until you can get something better. That's always been my approach.
you're supposed to be able to use the slave toggle switch but I couldn't get both of them to work when doing this. I tried every combo I could think of but I may have missed a setting change that needs to happen. Unfortunately the instruction manual on the Behringer unit is very limited and not that helpful so I did a lot of trial and error. If you can make it work that way let me know.
Hi , i see you have reason too on your computer. I hooked up a scarlett 18i20 3rd generation with a behringer ucm 18i20 and use the umc as the slave,but i get sound in my reason daw but nothing comes out of my speakers from the ucm interface. Is it possible to make a video about it with your reason daw? Thanks, Steve
While I'm thinking of it does anyone have any recommendations on ADAT units with higher quality pres? I want to upgrade down the road and will likely do a lot of research before spending the dough but wondered if anyone had any real world experience with any units I should check out. Appreciate it.
Currently ordering my audient asp800, I think asp800 is one of the best affordable adat pres out there. I saw many videos using 500 series that has adat out as well.
I have 5 hooked up to a Motu 2408 mk2 and mk3. I hooked both directions on the Ada and Motu. Such as adat out on ada to Motu in and Motu out to ada in.

Correct.
Thanks so much. I was scratching my head for 3 hours lol. Now everything works. These settings also work for Presonus 1824c

But hey, if it works it works even if the sync goes through adat
Cool. Guess I need a couple of additional cables. Thanks for the info :)

I have the same setup with Presonus 192 mobile,how can I use it in mixing??
How to route pro tools signal to any adat output?

I tried this but its making my quantum the main playback engine on protools.
Is there a way to make the other interface your main playback engine

I don't really use Reason as a DAW but I'll see what I can do.
@@studiofauxreal1261 we just moved from reason to cubase 12
You’ll have to the scarlett as a standalone with that setup

I run the same Presonus Quantum but with two Prism orpheus converters. Their pres and converters sound amazing!
I think it's because you have there 24 channels?
There can only be one master clock - either the interface or the pre’s.
