To wire the audio subsystem:
1 Ensure that all of your workstation peripherals and video hardware
components are properly connected. If necessary, refer to Connecting
Peripherals on page 19 and Setting Up Video Hardware on page 27.
2 Verify that you have all the required audio hardware components. See
Audio Hardware Components on page 40.
3 Determine whether you want to control the Lucid converter remotely or
locally. This affects the way you wire the audio hardware. See
Understanding Remote vs. Local Control of the Lucid Converter on page
41.
4 Connect your audio hardware devices. To avoid system instability, make
sure you connect your audio hardware as illustrated for your
configuration. See Audio Wiring on page 41.
