System Operation
If you wish to change the Analog Sampling rate or to slave-lock the 300 to an
external digital device or to external system word clock, you must go into the
300’s Control mode. To do this, simply press the CONTROL button. Press PAGE
DOWN twice to view Page Three, the Machine Configuration page.
This page allows you to define Input type, with the currently selected type
underscored. (When shipped, this will be the factory default Input type, ANA-
LOG.)
Selecting digital Input,
and/or changing analog
sampling rate
Before turning the Soft knob to change the Input type, press PAGE DOWN to
display the Digital Input and Sampling Rate page. This page allows you to select
different types of Analog and Digital I/O parameters.
Inp: Indicates the Digital Format if properly locked. If ***** appears, the 300 is
not locked to an external digital sync.
Clk: Allows the engineer to select the Analog Sampling rate. Pushing either of
the 2 buttons above this label first selects the parameter. You can then push the
button again to toggle to 44kHz, or you can use the Soft knob.
Out: Allows you to select AES Professional or SPDIF(Sony/Phillips Digital
InterFace) Consumer as output formats.
Din: Allows selection from among the three(3) different Digital Input Connectors:
XLR, RCA, and OPTical.
If you wish to operate the 300 in the digital domain, push either of the 2 buttons
under the Din label to select that parameter. (The selected parameter will be
underscored.) Use the Soft knob or multiple button pushes to select the Digital
Input connector which suits your studio rig.
Press PAGE UP to display the Input I/O selection screen. In the SINGLE mode
there are three choices: ANALOG, DIGITAL, or DIGital. Use the Soft
knob to select DIGITAL, then press PAGE DOWN to display the next screen.
