4.2 Quick Start
After connection of all cables and power-on of the device, the configuration of the DMC-842
begins in the CLOCK section. Choose a clock source and a sample rate. The next step is the
configuration of the input channels. When using digital microphones DPP (digital Phantom
power) must be activated. In Mode 1 the SRCs have to be activated as well as soon as more
than one microphone is connected.
The next step is the GAIN setting. This can be done in two ways:
•
Individually: Hit the SELECT button of one or several channels. The corresponding GAIN
displays start flashing. Select the desired value with the rotary encoder. Or:
•
Globally: Push the encoder knob once. All GAIN displays start flashing. Select the desired
value with the rotary encoder.
The flashing stops automatically after about six seconds. The LEVEL meter serves as comfort-
able tool to check whether gain is sufficient or already overloading the input.
To activate a function, press the SET knob repeatedly until the corresponding LEDs are flash-
ing. Pressing once all GAIN displays start flashing (gain setting), pressing twice selects all DPP,
then STEREO and so on. To activate or deactivate a specific function per channel, the corre-
sponding
SELECT
button is used. They are therefore also labeled ON/OFF.
The DMC-842 stores all settings before switching off, and sets them automatically when switch-
ing on the next time. The storing process is triggered about 4 seconds after the last change.
Using the included Windows software, the device’s complete state can be stored and archived.
