The Quattro will perform at 96kHz sampling rate with any one of the stereo pairs
enabled, and with the 24-bit Sample Depth selected. The Quattro will not operate
at 96kHz when the control panel is set to 16-bits. In the example below, Output
1&2 is enabled and 24-bit Sample Depth is selected, with the Maximum sample
rate showing 96kHz.
In the AudioSport Quattro Settings control panel, below the Sample Depth column
you will see a drop-down list that will set the “Latency” that you will experience in
monitoring input through your music program by setting the Quattro’s buffer size.
How low you will able to set the latency will depend on several factors, such as your
system’s performance and the performance of the music program itself. Try the “very
low” setting first (as shown in the previous screenshot), and if your system stutters or
performance falters, try the next higher setting until the system performance stabilizes.
Once you are satisfied with any of the control panel settings, click OK to close the
AudioSport Quattro Settings page.
Using the Input and Output Level Switches
Using the front panel Input Level and Output Level switches, you may change
the operating line level for each of the Quattro stereo pairs. In the “out” position,
the Quattro is set to a -10dBV line level. Pressing the input level switch and
locking it to the “in” position changes the operating line level to a +4dBu setting.
Each switch affects the line level for one of the input or output stereo pairs, i.e.
1/2 or 3/4. It is possible to have one setting for one of the stereo pairs, and a
different setting for the other. This will depend on the operating line level of the
device that is attached to that particular input or output. You can, in fact, have an
input set to one line level and the corresponding output set to another, depending
on your needs.
