2.2 Fast Start
Figure 2: Basic Enhancement Setup
Fast start the MicroDAC IV as follows using Figure 2 as a guide:
1. Connect the audio source(s) to the
LEFT (PRI)
and
RIGHT (REF) ANALOG INPUT
RCA jacks
on the MicroDAC IV rear panel as shown in Table 1. Although this table assumes a live
microphone preamp connected to the input of the MicroDAC IV, the signal could come from
many types of sources such as a cassette or micro-cassette recorder, DAT recorder,
videocassette recorder, telephone tap, or radio receiver. Note that the
RIGHT (REF)
signal is
only used in stereo configuration and/or with the 2CH Adaptive filter.

2. If you wish to record the enhanced audio, connect the line-level audio inputs (TAPE IN jacks) of
your Enhanced Tape Recorder to the
LEFT
and
RIGHT ANALOG OUTPUT
jacks on the
MicroDAC IV rear panel as shown. Alternatively, the digital output stream may be directly
recorded by connecting the
44.1KHz DIGITAL OUTPUT
to the digital input of the DAT
recorder.
3. Turn the phones
VOLUME
control to
MIN,
then connect the stereo headphones to the
PHONES
jack.
4. Rotate both
INPUT
LEVEL
knobs located on the front panel fully counter-clockwise and power
the MicroDAC IV on. Switch the front panel
MODE
switch to
BYPASS
, so the signal input will
flow directly to the output without being altered. As the source audio (live or recorded) plays,
adjust the front panel
INPUT LEVEL
knobs clockwise until the tricolor
INPUT LEVEL
LEDs flash
