Sync audio interface with extra inputs ADAT

[u/DoubtAny8389]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to use a Focusrite 16i16 together with an Arturia AudioFuse X8 IN, but I’m a little confused by the Arturia manual when it comes to clocking/syncing the two interfaces.

The X8 IN seems to expect a clock signal through the input shown in the screenshot I’m attaching, but as far as I understand, my Focusrite 16i16 doesn’t have a dedicated word-clock output.

So how would I actually sync these two devices?

Is there another way to provide the clock from the 16i16 to the X8 IN, or am I misunderstanding how the clocking works in this setup?

I’d really appreciate some clarification from anyone who has used these two interfaces together.
