The VOLUME knob is a rotary encoder that can be
pushed as well as turned. By pushing it repeatedly,
or by pushing and holding it in for varying
amounts of time, you can adjust several 8pre
settings as described in the following sections.
Figure 6-1: The VOLUME knob is a push-button rotary encoder.
Except where noted, all of the features described in
this chapter are available when the 8pre is
operating as either an audio interface or an optical
converter.
ADJUSTING HEADPHONE VOLUME
Turn the VOLUME knob to adjust headphone
volume. In the
Analog In
LED section to the right,
the row of amber LEDs, second from the top,
provides general feedback regarding the

encoder.
ADJUSTING MAIN OUT VOLUME
Push in the knob twice (so that it clicks two times)
and then turn it to adjust the volume of the main
outs on the rear panel. In the LED section to the

SETTING THE 2X OPTICAL MODE
Push and hold the knob for 5 seconds to enter a
mode where you can change 2x optical input and
output (88.2 or 96kHz) to Type I (for 2x optical
