 LED Meters / Clip Indicator. Each channel features three LED level indicators.
o
-20. The green LEDs will light up when your input signal reaches -20 dBFS and serves to
monitor whether or not signal is present on a channel output.
o
Clip. The red LEDs will light up when the channel’s input signal reaches a pre-limiter signal
level of +24dB. Care should be taken to avoid using signal levels that cause this LED to
activate. At this level, your mic preamp trim signal will exhibit signs of clipping such as
distortion. It is highly recommended you do not allow your converters to clip (the red clip
indicators to light up) as the sound quality will not be desirable. If you are having difficulty
achieving a useable signal level without clipping, engage the -20 dB pad.
o
Limit. The yellow LEDs will light up when a signal reaches or exceeds the threshold level of
the Limiter. The threshold determines the point at which the limiter acts upon the signal. The
proprietary technology of the dual domain limiter allows it to act instantaneously when the
threshold is reached.
 Sample Rate Selector. This button sets the sample rate of the DigiMax 96k. It provides selectable
rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz.
Please note: If you are using the DigiMax 96K to record into a DAW application like Logic, ProTools,
Cubase or Sonar, you must set the sample rate inside your host application to match the sample rate
you set on your master clock generator.
 Ext Clock. This button sets the DigiMax 96K to External digital sync. The DigiMax 96k will
automatically recognize which sample rate is require for proper synchronization.
