I/O

Press the I/O key to setup various I/O parameters.
Move the marker using the Cursor keys and turn the ADJUST
wheel to change values.

Input

Select Input source Analog/Digital.
Select Input type Left/Both. When you select 

Left

the right input

will be muted. If you are using two inputs you should select 

Both

Sample rate

Select Master clock 44.1 kHz/48 kHz/DI.
When Digital Input is selected, the external Clock frequency will
be displayed by the three LEDS on the left side of the Display. If
the M2000 cannot lock, all three LED’s will be blinking.

Mix

The Mix is a global parameter. When Mix is set to “100%” the
Mix parameter of all presets will be 100% and no direct signal
will pass through the M2000. Note that when Mix is set to 100%
the Bypass keys will act like Mute-keys.
When Mix is set to “Mix”, the parameter is adjustable.

Press the I/O key to setup various I/O parameters.
Move the marker using the Cursor keys and turn the ADJUST wheel to change values.

Status Bit:

This selector changes the Channel Status Bits of the digital output
between professional and consumer format. When AES is select-
ed, the M2000 will output the professional AES/EBU standard,
and when S/PDIF is selected, the M2000 will output the S/PDIF
consumer standard.
The defaults setting is AES/EBU but some digital consumer
products refuses to accept the professional standard. 
In that case change to S/PDIF consumer standard.
Example: If you are using a non-professional DAT machine as a
receiver of the M2000 digital output, and you cannot make it
accept the digital input, change the output format from AES/EBU
to S/PDIF.
NOTE: The different Status Bit standards do not affect the quality
of the audio output from the M2000.

Dither:

The M2000 can output Dither from 8 to 22 bit resolution on the
AES/EBU and S/PDIF ouput. The dither type is HP-TDF or High
Pass Triangular probability Density Function.
M2000 uses internal 24 bit resolution and 24 bit AD/DA
converters. Dither should therefore only be used when the digital
outputs are used (e.g. to a 16 bit DAT machine). It is
recommended not to use dither until the final stage of a
production, so if there is a chance that the source material is
going to be dithered later in a production, do not use Dither.

Here you can freeze mix to 100%

Select Status Bit output:
SP/DIF OR AES/EBU standard.

Sample rate:

44100Hz,

48000Hz or

from digital inputs

Indicates the number of bits
digital output are dithered to.
Automatically set to default value,
when changing Status Bit.
