Memory
In Mastering Processor mode, 518 maintains a continuous memory of the
DSP, Dither, Gain, In and Out settings for each source.
So, if you had determined that, e.g. D1 is an 18 bit source that should always use Gain 0dB but that D2 is 16 bit and can always use Emphasis and +2dB, then 518 will remember these and automatically reconfigure itself for each source as you switch between them.
DSP
1.Press DSP to select the primary processing mode. The display will show:
Bypass 0
Bypass transmits all 24 bits on the input to the output without any processing.
Note When Bypass is chosen, all the other front panel keys are disabled.
1.Press DSP again. The display will show:
Gain 0
Gain has a flat frequency response, but the level of the signal level is adjusted using a precision dithered multiplication. All the front panel keys are available to specify processing.
1.Press DSP again. The display will show:
Emph 0
Emphasis ensures that the output of 518 is always
or:
De-Emph 0
– providing the incoming signal is emphasised (Emph light on).
Note Gain functions in Emphasis and
Display
1.Press Display key to select between the following display formats
