Question

Can I bypass a/d converter in the Firestudio Mobile?

I want to connect a Fosusrite ISA One Digital to my Firestudio mobile.

The Focusrite pre amp has it's own A/D converter.
Should I connect the Focusrite to the s/pdif input on the back panel of the Firestudio Mobile,
AND will this automatically bypass the A/D converter
in the Firestudio mobile?  I would like to use the A/D converter in the Focusrite exclusively.

Answer 1

The SPDIF input on the FireStudio Mobile is RCA format, to use this with the Focusrite ISA One with the Digital Output option, you'll need to get a format converter to go from the SPDIF TOSLink Optical Port to the SPDIF RCA Input on the FireStudio Mobile. Neither Focusrite nor PreSonus makes such a product. However one can be obtained from a your music retailer. Just Google "Toslink to RCA" to find one. Or contact Focusrite to see which one they recommend. You need to look for something like this.
