DANGEROUS MUSIC
instantaneous lock range of 32 kHz-192 kHz.
Benefit: Get an hour of your life back by confirming that the audible “snat” is not a digital sync issue
from the DAC-ST. “Sheesh, is the source bad? A/D out of sync? The cable shorted? The input
connector bunk? How do I get this duct tape out of my hair?”
Operation: The input source is selected from the Monitor ST Remote using the “Additional Switching”
buttons. The Lock LED is tethered to the Monitor ST Remote’s selections.
Tip:
,
Green LED on = active source plugged in
Red LED on = nothing plugged in
5. Analog LED Signal Present Indicators
Feature: Visual confirmation that analog audio is present on the left and right rear XLR(M) outputs.
Benefit: Avoid an hour of troubleshooting to determine whether signal is present. “Holy Smokes, is the
source bad? The cable shorted? The input jack sour? Is that where I put my beer?”
6. Level Trim Controls
Feature: Calibrate the analog signal levels from +12dBu to +26dBu full scale.
Benefit: Monitoring at different levels completely skews your audio judgment. Calibrate all your gear
identically.
Tip:
,
The DAC-ST comes aligned from the factory with an output level of +22dBfs (-18 dBfs = +4
dBu).
7. Bank LED Input Indicators
Feature: Visual confirmation of which bus the module is occupying.
Benefit: Instantly determine which module is being controlled from the Monitor ST remote.
Operation: On the Monitor ST Remote, first use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select the appropriate
bank. The Remote’s LEDs will verify which bank is active. Then choose the input by using the
“Additional Switching” 1-4 buttons. That’s how the Additional Switching remote buttons can
control up to 4 devices. (More than just black magic). See the following photo op for visual
alacrity.
