Nominal Levels
The console buttons that are labeled “+4” or “-10” are nominal level buttons.
These buttons allow you to change the
nominal level
settings for the analog inputs
and outputs. By default, the levels are set to send a +4dBu signal. You can switch
b4dBu (professional level) and –10dBV (consumer level) for each analog
output and input by clicking on the appropriate button. This feature allows you to
connect either professional or consumer gear to each input and output.
Selecting the -10 level provides a digital boost after the converters. For universal
inputs with an analog trim knob you should leave the nominal level in the +4
default position. Unless you need a boost for the digital inputs, you should also
leave them in the +4 nominal setting.
Settings Tab
Clicking the “Settings” tab allows you to access settings for controlling your
AudioFire hardware. The Settings page includes the Sample rate, Core Audio
sample rate (Vista/Windows 7 only), Clock source, Digital mode, S/PDIF format,
Wave devices, Buffer size and the About button.
