DANGEROUS MUSIC
Benefit: Normal: With the button de-selected (dim light) the AD+ will send out sync via all digital outputs including Word Clock.
External: Selecting this button (bright LED) will make the AD+ slave to an external word clock source. For example, if
utilizing a master studio clock, this would distribute WC to the AD+. The
SAMPLE RATE
LEDs will cycle through until
the
LOCK LIGHT
turns from Red to Green indicating that sync has been achieved.
Master: Depress the button for 5 seconds. The LED will blink. Now the AD+ is the master studio clock, outputting Word
Clock and other digital sources will slave to it.
Note:
When in Master clock mode, the sample rate must be manually selected and the destination devices must be set to the
identical sample rate (i.e. all units at 192kHz).
Tip:
,
Try utilizing the CONVERT-AD+ as the master clock. Our high profile beta testers found it “remarkably revealing &
detailed” and “...this is the best sounding clock auditioned to date- and we’ve tried everything.”
Footnote: The CONVERT-AD+ leverages JetPLL technology and surrounds it with analog genius, thus executing it flawlessly.

18. USB AUTO DETECT
[REAR PANEL USB OUTPUT CONNECTOR PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: Compatible with Apple and PC. CoreAudio in OS X and ASIO in Windows.
Benefit: Connect the CONVERT-AD+ to any USB 2.0 or above compliant computer to receive output of the AD+. Apple is
driverless and built into the OS X. For PC you must download the driver from www.dangerousmusic.com.
Feature: Automatic USB Sample Rate Detection
Benefit: Open a session and the sample rate will be selected automatically. This is especially useful when the CONVERT-AD+
is part of an aggregate device group with CONVERT-2 or CONVERT-8 D/As, thus allowing users to create a system
that will function like a singular, virtual interface.
Operation:
ON
- The selected sample rate LED will blink slowly, the other LEDs will all light solid, and sample rate selection from
the front panel will be locked out.
OFF-
The selected sample rate LED only will remain lit. Sample rate selection changes can be executed from the
front panel manually.
Note: By default, the CONVERT-AD+ ships with this feature ON. To turn this feature OFF: press and hold the sample rate
SELECT button for three seconds. To re-enable the automatic mode, plug in a valid USB connection to CoreAudio
(Mac) or ASIO (Windows) and hold the sample rate SELECT button for three seconds.
Note: This mode is only available in internal word clock mode (i.e. WORD CLOCK button is dimly lit). This mode will be
overidden if the CONVERT-AD+ is clocked from the word clock input (brightly lit WORD CLOCK button) or used as
the word clock master (blinking WORD CLOCK button).
