About ADAT
ADAT is a simple and easy way of expanding your analogue inputs. ADAT uses inexpensive “light-pipe” optical cables to carry up to eight channels of audio. Just connect the ADAT output on the OctoPre to the ADAT input on your interface, set your sample rate and clock source and you’re ready to go. ADAT input is available on many Focusrite and third-party interfaces.
