1.5 Using the Digital Input
1 Getting Started
10. Power up your power amp or powered monitors
and turn the level controls to 0 dB.
11. Press the Speaker Output A button.
12. Press the TRS 1 button in the Main Input Select section.
13. Play a stereo signal from your main input source and slowly turn the volume
on the source to unity gain. You may need to consult the manufacturer of
your main input source if you do not know the position of unity gain.
14. Slowly turn the Main Level control on your CSR-1 fully clockwise until
you hear signal in the monitors. Adjust the sound to a comfortable
listening level. If the listening level of your monitors cannot be adjusted
low enough with the Central Station, do not lower the volume of
your main input source; instead, lower the level control on your
power amp or powered monitors until the level is satisfactory.
15. Press the Speaker Output B button and repeat steps 12 through 14. If the set
of monitors connected to one output is louder than the other set of monitors,
adjust the power amp for the louder set or use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust
the level of the louder set of monitors to match the quieter set. Toggle between
Speaker Output A and Speaker Output B to verify that the levels match.
16. If you have connected a third set of monitors to Speaker Output
C, repeat the process in step 15 for this set of monitors. If you have
connected a subwoofer to Speaker Output C, repeat steps 12 through
14 while Speaker Output A is concurrently engaged, and adjust the
volume of your subwoofer until you have a balanced 2.1 mix.
1.5 Using the Digital Input
1. Using a digital S/PDIF cable, connect the S/PDIF coaxial (RCA-style)
output from your DAW, CD player, audio interface, or other digital
device to the S/PDIF coaxial input on the Central Station.
2. Press the Digital button on the CSR-1’s Main Input Select section.
3. Press the S/PDIF button in the CSR-1’s Digital Input section.
4. Press the Speaker Select button for your desired monitors.
5. Play stereo audio from an S/PDIF source. The Central Station will
automatically detect and lock to the sampling rate of the source device.
6. Adjust the Main Level control to desired level.
Follow the same instructions for Toslink devices. Toslink is a type of stereo, digital,
optical S/PDIF connection found on many consumer audio devices. While the
Toslink jack is similar to the ADAT Lightpipe connector, it is not an ADAT port.
