Topic: How sync FireFace800 + Octamic

There was a problem synchronizing FireFace 800 with Octamic.
It does not synchronize at a frequency of 48. If I put 48 kHz on FireFace800, Octamic reacts like 44.1. Wat`s this problem?
1. What should be settings(mode) in Octamic?
2. And how to properly synchronize FireFace 800 with Octamic?

Manuals for all our devices are available on the download pages of our website. The OctaMic manual covers the DIP switches on the back and how to set them.

Mind that to sync the Octamic to the FF800, a Word Clock connection from FF to Octa is required. The rest is in the manual, as stated above.

Thanks for the answer. Let's try again. All manual attempts were unsuccessful.
Perhaps someone will gradually be able to write, will be grateful (who has this device connected)

Set the FF800 to Clock Mode: Internal/Master in Fireface settings

Connect a 75 ohm BNC cable from FF800 Word Out to Octamic Word in. Push in the blue WORD TERM switch next to the input.

Set Octamic DIP switches for Follow Clock mode: 1,2,4,5 down / 3,6 not applicable
