only transfer 56 (SMUX/2: 28, SMUX/4: 14) channels. This setting
corresponds to an early MADI specification, which is capable of using the
remaining bandwidth for varispeed. Nowadays varispeed is not
commonly used in favor of having the full 64 channels.
Redundant Power
When using two power supplies for redundancy reasons, please set this
menu option to ON. If switched on, the A32 DANTE monitors both PSU
inputs. In case of a failure of one power supply, the A32 DANTE will
display a warning message on the main screen.
ADAT4 as S/PDIF
The fourth ADAT I/O port can be switched to stereo S/PDIF operation. If
the sample rate of the connected device differs from the sample rate of
the A32 DANTE, the external sample rate will be converted to the
A32 DANTE’s sample rate using a sample rate converter (SRC).
The stereo S/PDIF input will be distributed on the ADAT 4 channels, the
stereo output is sourced by the first two ADAT 4 channels.
Keyclick
This lets you switch the Keyclick sound on or off.
Delay compensation
When using MADI with more than one A32 DANTE unit in daisy chain
mode, set each device to the according order:
•
Single: only one unit attached to MADI
•
1 of 2: first unit in a chain of two
•
2 of 2: second unit in a chain of two.
Delay compensation is intended for MADI only. In case
you connect via Dante, there is no need for manual
correction, since the Dante algorithm takes care for
proper timing.
