Please refer to 

Figure-2b

 on the facing page to familiarize yourself with the rear panel features of the 

AMP2-DA/AVU

 and

 AMP2-DA/

APP

 unit.  The following sections describe these features and are referenced, by letter, to 

Figure-2b

.

Rear Panel Features

Section 2: 

 Operation

Power Connector

Attach a standard IEC-320 power cord between this connector and mains power (100 - 250VAC, 50/60 Hz). The front panel

Power LED

 (

Item 8

, page 

8

) will glow GREEN to indicate operating voltages are present.

AES Input Termination and Error Indication Type DIP Switch

This 4-position DIP switch module is used to set the termination characteristics for the 

AES

 inputs and to set the error type

indicated by the 

AES Status LED

 (

Item 5

, page 

8

).

Note:

 Section 

3

 of the DIP module is not used.

AES Input Termination:

In the event that either of the two 

AES

 input channels is fed to downstream equipment, the associated DIP switch section

(

section 1

 =

IN 1

and

 section 3

 =

IN 2

)

 must be placed in the 

UP

 (

Unterminated

) position.  If there is 

no

 downstream

equipment connected, then the associated DIP switch section must be placed in the 

DOWN

 (

Terminated

) position.

See below left for a diagram of termination settings.

Error Indication Type:

DIP switch 

section 1

 may be set to allow the 

AES Status LED

 to indicate either reception 

and

 data errors or to indicate

reception errors 

only

. See the diagram below right for settings.

AES Unbalanced BNC Input Connectors (IN 1 and IN 2)

These two 

AES

inputs on female BNC connectors (

IN 1

 and 

IN 2

) are meant to receive standard 

AES

 signals and are

configured for unbalanced, 75 

 connections.  Either of the two inputs is selected by setting the 

AES Source Select

Switch

 (

Item 4

, page 

8

) on the front panel to 

1

 or 

2

.  Note that the unit will monitor the selected 

AES

 source

only

 when the

Analog/Digital Source Select Switch

 (

Item 3

, page 

8

) is set to 

DIGITAL

.

Optional balanced inputs on female XLR connectors may be specified for the 

AES

 inputs in lieu of BNC connectors.

AES Input Level Gain Calibration DIP Switch

Input

Level Gain Calibration

, the analog level which corresponds to a given digital input value, is settable via this DIP

switch.  The factory setting is +4 dB (analog) = -20 dBFS (digital).  See the silk-screened chart on the rear panel or the
diagram below for settings.
