1. Overview of Connectors and Controls
In addition to the available features described in this manual, you also have the option of controlling the
processor with a PC or MAC from a remote location over your network or via a USB cable.
IDEA DSPControl software is available for download at www.ideaproaudio.com/resources/downloads for MAC
OSX and PC running Windows XP and Windows7.
1.1.Front Panel
1.1.1.USB Connector
The USB connector is used to connect the TEOd8 to a PC or MAC. It can then be configured and controlled in real
time with the freely available PC and MAC configuration program. With this program you can also update your
DSP to the latest firmware. Please check our website regularly for updates.
1.1.2.Input VU Meters
There are 4 independent input meters available. The LEDs indicate: Signal (-48dBu), -6dBu, Limit and Clip. These
meters refer to the absolute input level, multiplied by the input gain. The Limit LED lights when any gain reduction
is taking place in that channel. The CLIP LED lights when the input level r22dBu.
1.1.3.Function Buttons
The function buttons allow direct access to all editing and navigating functions. See section three for a detailed
description on the functions of each of these buttons.
1.1.4.Rotary Encoder
The rotary encoder is used to scroll through the menu items by pushing it, and to adjust values by rotating it.
When values are changed, the DSP is updated in real-time.
1.1.5.Output VU Meters
There are 8 independent output meters available. The LEDs indicate: Signal (-48dBu), -6dBu, Limit and Clip. The
indication refers to the output level w.r.t. The threshold of the output peak limiter. The Limit LED lights when any
gain reduction is taking place in that channel. The CLIP LED lights when more than 12dB of gain reduction is taking
place.
1.1.6.Output Mute Buttons
The 8 output mute buttons are used for independently muting each output.
