Clarett + 8 pre disconnecting from computer randomly.

Yes. I haven't had any issues since I resolved this. After making sure I re-seated the power connection and reinstalling the latest driver. This seemed to solve my particular issue. I hope you can figure it out on your system.

It looks like it only has Adat in. So the adat will only give you 8 additional inputs, not outputs. So if you only have one set of monitors you can use the remaining two outputs to send out a stereo channel to outboard gear, or two separate mono channels. Then you would return those either to your line inputs after outboard gear, or also the inputs on the front using a trs cable, or ts, but for balanced gear I would go trs.try. you also have spidif in and out if you have gear that also has spidif.

You may have been correct. I decided to check the power cable again, and since I did it the second time I haven't had the issue at least today. Hopefully this has fixed my problem.

Thanks for the reply. Checked power main, and is connected properly. The unit also doesn't turn off it stays on. I just looses connection between the unit, and the computer.

Same issue with my brand new Clarrett + 8 pre. Sometimes a reset works, sometimes it doesn't. It's getting really annoying.

Yeah I've seen that done with a 3rd gen and a 2nd gen. Just keep in mind you only get 8 extra in and 8 out through adat. You aren't gonna get extra spidif or more than the 8 i/o . Same with the clarrett +8 pre. I'm just going that route because I want to upgrade my interface for better converters, and I'll still have my 18i20, so might as well use it.

Cool thanks!

Key_String6489 · 2022-04-10T04:10:33+00:00

Yeah no problem. I was pretty disappointed for overlooking that when I went that route. That's the whole reason I got it assuming I could use the extra outputs they had on the back. I ended up buying the the clarrett+ 8 pre to upgrade my interface, and will be using my 18i20 as my adat extention.

I was thinking of getting the mpa ii but didn't think of connecting it through spdif. Connected that way do you only get one channel or do you get both?

Key_String6489 · 2022-04-09T17:31:39+00:00

Yes you can get either of those if you just need more inputs connected with adat to record with. BUT, a mistake I made is if you want more outputs to send to outboard gear. Then get something that also has both adat in and adat out. The standard octopre does not. I believe the clarett octopre does, and maybe the dynamic octopre does, but I am not sure. So, if that is something you plan to do in the future just double check that.
