GLOSSARY

S/PDIF
Consumer digital in/out standard, normally using coaxial phono-

DITHERING
Dithering is a method to optimize the quality of a digital audio
signal at low levels. A small amount of filtered noise is added to
the signal, giving you a less distorted low level signal.
If you are using digital outputs, the equipment you feed deter-
mines the number of bits. A DAT recorder should always be
dithered to 16 bit.
PROF/CONS LEVELS
Depending on which equipment you are using along with the
M2000, you must set the PRO/CON parameters correctly in the
I/O setup menu.
M2000 Analog Inputs:
Consumer range: -16dB to +10dB, nominal level = -10dB
Professional range: -6dB to +16dB, nominal level = +4dB
M2000 Analog Outputs:
Consumer range: -10dB to +16dB
Professional range: -16dB to +6dB
The levels are either listed in the technical specifications or
printed on the rear panel of the connected devices.
DE’ESSING
An algorithm that removes unwanted »esses« from a vocal mate-
rial.
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MIDI COMMANDS

controlling machines.
