Time Code
Enables Time Code mode. Connect Time
Code to RTN B TA3 connector. Time Code
values are stamped within a recorded
file. Time Code is recorded to an audio
track when Replace Left or Replace Right
is selected. Time Code to Track options
force sampling rate to 48 kHz if set to
higher sampling rates. In Auto Record
modes, the 552 automatically starts and
stops recordings when external time code
advances.

Digital Output
Enables digital outputs and routes AES3
pairs to the XLR or 10-Pin outputs. AES
A uses Left XLR or 10-Pin Connector.
AES B uses Right XLR or 10-Pin. The
connector’s Level Switch should be set to
Line-Level.

lected source is the program sent to the

Phantom Voltage
Sets the phantom power voltage to
be applied to all inputs. When 12 V is
selected the overall power consumption
of the 552 is lowered. Line options allow
phantom to be applied to both Mic- and
Line-Level inputs. Using phantom power
on microphones at Line-Level is useful
in high SPL environments. Make certain
to disable phantom power with Line-level
output devices susceptible to damage
from DC.
