10. Front Panel Controls
General operation and usage of the ADI-2/4 Pro SE are explained in chapter 5.2, Quick Start, and
chapter 5.3, Operation at the unit.
The ADI-2/4 Pro SE ships with
Basic Mode Auto activated. In this mode the unit will automatically
reconfigure itself depending on the connected source, offering quick, easy and intuitive operation:

No digital input, no USB => Preamp mode

Digital input signal => AD/DA converter mode

USB connected => USB mode (USB interface operation)
These modes are explained in detail in chapter 17. The current mode is also shown for 2 seconds
(Info Message) whenever it changes, and one time after power-on.
State Overview is especially useful to check the state of digital input signals as well as the current
settings with USB. It also displays several warning messages which might explain why currently
no sound is audible. See chapter 15.3 for details.
The following chapters explain all the controls and menu items in detail.
10.1 Keys
The four back-lit keys offer quick access of important parameters within the menu structure. After
pressing one of the four keys the corresponding menu is shown in the display. The unit remem-
bers the last selection per key, so re-visiting a formerly changed parameter is easy. To leave the
menu push the same key a second time, or any other key two times. The display will revert to the
level meter screen that was active before entering the menu.
10.2 Encoders
The encoders can be turned endlessly, but also pressed, adding a push button function. The
current functionality of all encoders is shown in the display. The big Volume knob usually controls
volume for outputs 1/2 or 3/4. The current assignment is
indicated in the display’s status bar by a
marker around the volume value.
Turning the small encoders 1 and 2 either changes the current parameter, or moves the selec-
tion/cursor horizontally to the next page. Pressing the encoders 1 and 2 moves the selection/cur-
sor vertically, up with 1 and down with 2, as indicated by the arrows in the display.
