• Inputs +4 or -10 Selects between Consumer level (-10dBV) or
Professional level (+4dBu) inputs.
(Use the -10dBV setting if your input is too weak.)
• Outputs +4 or -10 Selects between Consumer level (-10dBV) or
Professional level (+4dBu) outputs.
(The +4 dBu setting outputs a hotter level.)
• Optical Input Select Selects between ADAT or optical S/PDIF for the
MicroDock ADAT Input. The coaxial S/PDIF input is
disabled when S/PDIF optical is selected.
• Microphone Input
Soft Limiting
The Mic/Hi-Z inputs have built-in, analog “soft limiters”
which automatically turn down the gain before the
signal overloads the A/D converters. The soft limiters
allow you to record a hotter signal without fear of
clipping.
This control turns the soft limiters On or Off.
See “Making the Best Possible Recording” for additional
information about the soft limiters.
• Optical Output Select Selects between ADAT or optical S/PDIF for the
MicroDock ADAT Output. The coaxial S/PDIF Output is
disabled when S/PDIF optical is selected.
• S/PDIF Output Format Selects between S/PDIF or AES/EBU format for S/PDIF.
This sets the S/PDIF-AES status bit, but does not affect
the signal level.
