8920ADC Instruction Manual

8920ADC Analog Audio to AES/EBU Converter

Apply the maximum level to the input (example +24 dBu) and adjust
the gain toggle switch for each channel until the clip LED comes on.
This is -0.5 dBFS, and by tapping the toggle switch four more times you
will be within 0.15 dB (worst case) of the correct gain setting.

CAUTION

Using a maximum level that is larger than the high end of the range setting
jumper will result in a clipped waveform and high distortion. Use the next
higher jumper setting that includes the maximum level and readjust the gain
following the instructions above.

Configuring Output Mode

The 8920ADC provides thirteen possible output configurations as shown in

Table 5

. The module can be configured using the rotary switch shown in

Figure 5 on page 8

. To make a configuration setting, rotate the switch to the

desired output configuration. The 16-position rotary switch selects one of
13 possible output modes. Positions B and C are not used and positions 0
and F select the same mode—the factory default.

Remote Control Lockout

When a jumper is placed across pins 1 and 2 of jumper block JP7 (see

Figure 5 on page 8

), module output mode settings are adjustable from the

Local on-board switches only. To have both Local and Remote access, set
the jumper across pins 2 and 3.
