TC electronic SDN BHD Gold Channel - Manual (Page 6)

WELCOME

Congratulations
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Gold
Channel. We hope that you have as much pleasure
using it as we had making it.
The Gold Channel is carefully designed to make perfect
recordings of your precious music directly to your digital storage
media. There are three essential steps in the recording process:
Microphone amplification, Analog to Digital conversion and a
powerful package of signal processing. These are all brought
together in the Gold Channel. These plus the routing possibilities
in the processing section and the versatile Input and Output
connectors, set a whole new standard for what you can expect
from a stand-alone mic-preamp.
The Gold Channel is equipped with 24 bit AD/DA converters,
AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT/Toslink Optical Inputs and
Outputs.
About this Manual
Many people in the music business (and elsewhere) have an
aversion to reading manuals. We understand that. So if you feel
like starting without reading the whole manual, check out the
Quick Reference at page 11. You can always use the manual if
you want to check out areas that you have questions about.
On the other hand, you might want to know a little more about
the Gold Channel before you start pressing keys. The manual
will take you step by step through all of the Gold Channel’s
functions. If you want to read about a specific function, please
refer to the Table of Contents.
