delay can be selected to compensate for
processing delays in an associated video
path. For flexibility, two delay values can be
configured, allowing real-time selection as
desired. A number of different signals can
serve as the Model 760-03’s digital audio
timing reference. For synchronization with a
master timing reference a dedicated source
of word clock, DARS (AES11), bi-level
video, or tri-level video can be connected.
Alternately, the L/R connection of the ac-
tively selected surround or stereo input
source can serve as the timing reference.

A range of digital and analog surround (5.1)
and stereo monitor outputs are provided.
The post-fader surround and stereo digital
and analog monitor outputs are intended for
connection to monitor loudspeaker systems.
The pre-fader surround digital monitor out-
put can be used with metering systems that
require signals that aren’t impacted by level
control or other monitoring functions. The
stereo input C direct digital monitor output
allows an installation to directly access the

SRC capabilities. The digital monitor out-
puts are compatible with equipment that re-
quires balanced AES3 digital audio signals
with an output impedance of 110 ohms and
a signal level of 5 volts peak-to-peak (Vpp).

A sophisticated bass management func-
tion is integral to the Model 760-03’s design
and can be enabled if desired. It can apply
to both the surround and stereo digital and
analog post-fader monitor output channels.
Note however that the bass management
function is only supported at sample rates
of 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. The overall
goal of bass management is very simple:
ensure that the entire audio bandwidth of
all channels can be accurately monitored.
Many loudspeaker systems have inher-
ent low-frequency limitations, preventing
a true picture of the source material from
being presented. To overcome this, the low-
frequency energy from the five channels
associated with the surround inputs and the
two channels associated with the stereo
inputs can be separated and routed to the
