Important Notes

• It is generally recommended to enable only as many input and output channels in the MARIAN App as your project actually requires.
  Fewer active channels reduce system load and allow significantly lower latencies.
• Clara E: Before increasing the Dante sample rate, adjust the maximum number of input and output channels in the MARIAN App:
  • 44.1 / 48 kHz -> 512 / 512
  • 88.2 / 96 kHz -> 256 / 256
  • 176.4 / 192 kHz -> 128 / 128

Uninstallation

• Quit the MARIAN Manager App (Tab "App" -> "quit").
• Open the Applications folder using Finder.
• Drag the MARIAN Manager App to the Trash.
