Level Adjustment

The gain stage of each output channel (right and left) has two means of
adjustment—fine and coarse (refer to

Figure 5 on page 9

).

The Coarse jumpers (JP6 and JP7) select the range of adjustment either:

High range—19 to 24 dBu, or

Low range—14 to 20 dBu.

Fine control within those ranges is set using the multi-turn potentiometers
(Left and Right Fine Adj.) providing ±3 dBu gain adjustment (do not exceed
24 dBu). This combination gives a maximum range of full-signal settings
from +14 dBu to +24 dBu.

20/24-bit DAC Operation

Jumper block JP5, pins 1 to 3, determine whether the DAC is in 24-bit or
20-bit mode (see

Figure 5 on page 9

). With the jumper across pins 1 and 2,

the DAC is in 20-bit mode and will mask the lower four bits of information.
With the jumper across pins 2 and 3, the DAC is in full 24-bit mode.

Remote Control Lockout

When a jumper is placed across pins 5 and 6 of jumper block JP1, module
output mode settings are adjustable from the on-board switches only. To
have both Local and Remote access, set the jumper across pins 4 and 5 (see

Figure 5 on page 9

).
