Quickstart Guide- Settings and Operation
The AD11 front panel has three sections:
(Diagram 1)
When AC power is applied to the AD11, the unit initializes itself. First, a single LED
“scans”
each row of the front panel meters, then both rows. The unit then enters a special version of
Setting Mode to display the settings and allow changes to the
phantom
settings for the left
and right channel’s +48V Phantom power. The unit then returns to Operating Mode. For
more details, please see the section titled
“phantom (+48V Phantom Power for Condenser
Microphones)
” in the Operation section of the manual on page 12.
-
Please use caution when changing settings. Although the AD11 changes its digital
outputs “gracefully;” it is not possible to predict how a device the AD11 is feeding
will react. For this reason; it is advisable to lower your monitor speaker volume to
avoid possible speaker damage prior to changing any settings.
AD11 MODES
The AD11 has two modes- the Operating Mode and the Setting Mode.
- In Operating mode, the front panel displays the level of the digital output signal in the
meters below the LEVEL legend (as shown on Page 7). The legend
above
the window
applies in this mode (
-42
through
0
) to indicate dB level below 0dB full scale digital level
(0dBFS). The GAIN display indicates the setting of the left
or
right channel when the
up/down
switch
for that channel
is actuated, and for approximately 10 seconds afterwards.
The GAIN displ
ay then reverts to displaying “LE.” A quick “click” of either channel’s
up/down
switch will display the stored setting for that channel without changing it. Please see
“Diagram 1, Section 3 Gain Controls” (page 6) for details on the behavior of the GAIN
control; including when switching between Line and Mic range. The GAIN control is always
active in both Operating and Setting modes; but is most likely to be used in Operating mode.
- In Setting mode (as illustrated above in Diagram 1), status of the settings is displayed as
well as the position of the cursor in the LEVEL display section. The legend
below
the
window applies in this mode (
44.1
,
48
,
wc
,
sat
, etc). The position of the cursor is denoted by
the flashing LED. For settings at the cursor position, a rapidly flashing cursor means the
setting is “On” and a slowly flashing cursor means the setting is “Off.” At all other positions, if
the LED is illuminated the setting is “On,” and if the LED is dark the setting is “Off.”
- If the function has a left and right
setting, the left setting is on the upper row (“left channel
meter” in Operating mode) and the right channel setting is on the lower row (“right channel
meter” in Operating mode).
- When an external clock setting is selected, the LED in the upper row directly above the
type of sync will indicate
“lock” to the external signal. The two types of sync are “
wc
” for
Word Clock or “
dig-a
” for AES or SPDIF sync. If the AD11 is not “locked,” or there is no
signal present on the sync input, the LED in the upper row above
wc
or
dig-a
remains dark.
