Is the Aardvark Aardsync II 192kHz compatable? If not, can it be upgraded?
Though the AardSync II can generate 88.2kHz or 96kHz, it cannot generate 192kHz and is not upgradable. The AardSync II has a jumper inside on 2 of it’s BNC outputs that will double the rate shown on the front panel to 88.2kHz or 96kHz.
It is important to note, that almost any 96k or 192k gear doesn’t need a 96k or 192k word clock to lock to. Most (if not all) will take a 48k (or 96k) word clock and up sample inside the gear. The quality is identical and is much easier to handle all the clocks in the studio. The Digi 192 I/O would rather take a 48k work clock input, which they use as their ‘base clock’ even if they’re doing 192k.
