d:series amplifiers
manual
control surface
routing screen
digital input field
depending on the actual digital input option used, the following is indicated:
AES/EBU
•
Sync states of the 12 AES/EBU input pairs displayed as red (sync) or green (no sync) dots.
MADI
•
sync/lock state of the optical as well as the coaxial input connection including frame information
(e.g. 56ch or 64ch frame).
•
clock source selection (optical/coaxial): can be switched by pressing button
Note: The amplifier has got no input detection, therefore you have to select the clock source.
•
smux: you are able to switch the sample multiplexing by a tip on the ‘smux’-button to adapt the
changes you have possibly made on the sending-device.
1x: 64 Ch 24bit/48kHz (default setting) - 2x: 32Ch 24bit/96kHz
Dante
•
information of sample rate and sync state.
Only digital inputs (MADI, DANTE or AES/EBU option) can be routed individually. Analog inputs are always
patched one to one. On the main routing screen, the input channels are split into groups of eight. If digital
inputs are available, the buttons above the level display can be set to analog or digital. The inputs can be
selected in groups of eight.
By selecting a section (1-8, 9-16 or 17-24) on the routing screen, you will get to the routing menu where
you are able to:
•
switch between analog and digital inputs
•
route digital inputs
•
attenuate the input gain value
•
phase invert channels
•
mute channels
NOTE: The routing screen is only available with an optional digital input card (AES/EBU, MADI or Dante).

S/MUX (or ‘Sample Multiplexing’)
S/MUX is used to transmit high bandwidth digital audio using existing lower bandwidth
technology. That means that, e.g. 24bit/96kHz instead of 24bit/48kHz is available by
using demultiplexing, but the amount of audio channels will be reduced to 50 percent:
64 channels with 24bit/48kHz to 32 channels with 24bit/96kHz.
