Bypassing and Muting
The purpose of the BYPASS key is, as the name suggests, to remove any
effects, while passing the signal through unchanged. Eclipse offers a
number of options which can be selected under
SETUP
MODES (BYPASS).
see page 47 to learn how to remotely control the
bypass function
Relay Byp
When this is selected, the analog XLR inputs and outputs are connected by a relay (you can hear it click
when you operate the switch). The digital inputs and outputs are connected electronically, as in
DSP by-
pass
.
The ¼” jacks will be muted, so you should not use relay bypass if you are using these jacks
.
Note that when Eclipse is powered down, the same relay connects the analog XLRs, so that signal can
pass through.
DSP Byp
(
DSP bypass
- the normal mode)
When this is selected, both effects blocks are electronically bypassed, preserving all global levels. This
means, for example, that if you were coming in digital and going out analog, you would still have signal
when bypassed, in contrast to
relay bypass
above.
Mute All
An alternative to normal bypass – this mutes the signal passing through the Eclipse.
Digital Setup
The Eclipse is ready to interface with virtually any piece of digital equipment on the market; any rate, any
bit depth, any connector. What’s more, it can accept one protocol at its input and pass a different protocol
at its output. What do we mean by protocol? A protocol is a
way
of encoding digital audio. The XLR,
RCA, and optical connectors can all accept or pass either the
professional
or the
consumer
protocol.
However, the XLR connector is normally used for the more robust
professional
standard, while the RCA
and optical connectors, in general, are only used for the less robust
consumer
standard. Within
both
stan-
dards, you can select to encode “emphasis,” though you should leave “emphasis” off
unless
you know
what it is and feel the need to use it. Within the
consumer
standard, you can encode data that permits sub-
sequent users to either copy freely, to copy once more, or not to copy the material.
Digital Input
The Eclipse can only accept a digital signal from one digital input at
SETUP
DIG-IN (DIG-IN)
. Your choices are:
Off
no digital input - using analog input only.
XLR
for AES/EBU input
RCA
for normal SP/DIF input
Optical
for optical stereo SP/DIF input
ADAT
for eight channel ADAT input. You should then
use
(ADAT-IN)
to select which of the eight ADAT
inputs you want to connect to your two Eclipse inputs. Press the key repeatedly to
select CH1, CH2 and CH1+2. Use the knob to select the desired ADAT channel.
