AUBION X.8
7/29
remains loaded. This also works if the
X.8
is separated from the network temporarily. As
soon as it is once again connected with the network, the
X.8
service automatically
reconnects to the last connected
X.8
. This also works, however, when your PC is rebooted,
as the
X.8
service notes which
X.8
in the network it was connected to before the
X.8
was
disconnected. The
X.8
service and ASIO driver are activated automatically by the PC
system start after the software package has been installed.
6.1.3 Line-Out settings
An analog full scale level as well as a digital attenuation can be configured for each of the
two Line-Out channels (see also the block diagram in section 9.4).
For the two line outputs, Out 1 and Out 2, four analog full scale levels can be set up on each,
independent of one another. The full scale level should be selected in such a way that the
output signals are set to maximum level so that, for example, over-amplification of a
connected amplifier or active speaker is avoided without the need for input attenuation, in
order to achieve a maximum signal to noise ratio.
If both ASIO channels are at full scale level with a sine signal that is emitted from the Line
outputs, Out 1 and Out 2, the unloaded electrical level measured differentially at the TRS
connections is +3 dBu, +6 dBu, +12 dBu or +21 dBu depending on the setting.
The Line-Out full scale level can be reached in the
X.8
GUI in the
File menu
using the sub-
item
Device Settings <F9>
. In the
AUBION X.8
window that opens, select the
Device
tab which
takes you to a mask in which the aforementioned reference level can be selected for every
Line-Out. If the settings are changed, this has an immediate effect on the level setting on the
X.8
and any changes are always saved there.
Please note that you can only set the full scale level using the GUI.
Using the two faders in the main window of the control
software, you can set the digital level of the ASIO channels
for the two Line-Outs in the range between 0 dB and -100
dB in increments of 0.1dB (1 dB increments using the
PgDn/PgUp keys). The set attenuation is displayed below
the corresponding fader as a numerical value.
On the device itself, the actual attenuation value you have
set is displayed as a whole number. In comparison to the
GUI, changes to the Line-Out gain on the device are set in
whole 1.0 dB increments.
There is a joint Mute button above the Line-Out faders
which is used for both Line-Out channels. There is a
corresponding button on the device itself.
