STEREO,
SUM L+R
COPY L>R
These four parameters determine how signals at the corresponding output
ports will be processed. This control makes it easy to use the same presets
in a variety of stereo and mono performance or recording environments. The
decision between the mono options “SUM L+R” or “COPY L>R” should be
based on the source material.
See
“Mono vs. Stereo” on p. 6
for more information on these options.
USB Audio goes directly to the converters and is NOT affected by this setting.
Output 1 Level
Output 2 Level
-10dBV
+4 dBu
These two parameters set the nominal levels of their respective outputs.
Use the -10 dBV setting for consumer-grade equipment including many guitar
products.
Use the +4 dBu setting with professional audio equipment.
The product manual for your connected device should indicate whether it
operates at +4 dBu or -10 dBV (Default). (Some devices are switchable.)
USB Audio levels ARE affected by this setting.
Output 1 Phase
Output 2 Phase
Output 3 Phase
Output 4 Phase
NORMAL, INVERT
These four parameters determine whether signal at the corresponding output
ports will be normal or phase-inverted relative to its state at the output of
the grid. This lets you compensate for unwanted inversions elsewhere in the
signal chain.
USB Audio signals ARE affected by this setting.
Output 2 | Copy Output 1
OFF/ON
Enabling this option creates a copy of the Output 1 signal at Output 2. Use this
for the convenience of having an extra copy of the Output 1 mix with separate
front panel level control—without the need to insert an additional output block.
This setting works only when the Output 2 block is NOT present on the grid for
the current preset!
Output 3 | Copy Input 1
Output 4 | Copy Input 1
OFF/ON
Enabling either of these options creates a copy of the Input 1 signal at
Output(s) 3 or 4. Use this for the convenience of having an extra copy of the
Input 1 signal (for all-analog re-amping, for instance) without the need to
insert additional output block(s) on the grid.
This setting works only when the corresponding output block is NOT present
on the grid for the current preset! For example, OUTPUT 3 | COPY INPUT 1 will
NOT copy Input 1 if the Output 3 block is on the grid.
Output 3 Boost/Pad
Output 4 Boost/Pad
0/6 dB/12 dB
These settings engage a boost/pad which can help lower the noise floor of
Outputs 3 or 4. This may be useful when outputting to a tube amp or modeler
or with the Four-Cable Method.
Boost/Pad helps optimize D/A performance without affecting levels, since a
boost at the converter’s input is paired with a corresponding cut at its output.
Be watchful, however, as boosting makes it easier to clip the converters.
Watch the meters and if clipping occurs, reduce levels within your preset or
turn this setting down.
