The row marked in grey shows the factory-preset standard configuration. The column marked in grey shows the reference output OUT 1 and the channel numbers assigned.

Example:

Your system accommodates 16 interpretation channels and you want to output each interpretation channel via its own audio output. To do so, you require two analog output units whose outputs have to be configured as follows:

The factory-preset standard configuration of the first analog output unit remains unchanged (the channels 1 to 8 are output via the unit’s outputs OUT 1 to OUT 8, the floor channel is output via output OUT 0).

Make sure that the second analog output unit is not connected!

Open the second analog output unit by removing the seven screws on the top of the housing as well as the screw on the front panel with a 2.0 mm Allan key and lift the cover off the unit.

Leave the two DIP switches in position “OFF” as shown in the illustration on the left.

Use a screwdriver to set the rotary switch to position “9”.

Close the housing and tighten the screws. In order to avoid that the two analog output units are later confused, we recommend marking the second analog output unit with a sticker.

Connect the second analog output unit as described in the section “Daisy-chaining SDC 8000 AO analog output units” on page 52.

The channels 9 to 16 are output via the outputs OUT 1 to OUT 8 of the analog output unit. The floor channel is output via the unit’s output OUT 0.
