SETUP - Signal
The Signal Display
On the Signal display you can select the main inputs, Insert send and return, Sample Rate source, ADAT or TOS Link output, and view what outputs are available.
To get to the Signal page press the SETUP button, if you are not already there, and use the < > Menu keys to select SIGNAL. Basic operation is accomplished by using the Parameter wheel to change cursor position and the value wheel to change values.

The Signal Display
Whenever you touch one of the Input selectors on the front, the Signal display will pop up, and disappear after a few seconds. If you don’t want the display to go back automatically, you can set the Auto Pages parameter in the Utility/Config display to OFF.
NOTE: This will also affect the Gain display.
Input
The Input box is controlled from the Input selector for each channel on the front. It can be Mic, Line or Digital input. If it’s set to Digital, the Value wheel is used to select between the different digital formats: AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TOS Link and ADAT. You cannot select different digital formats for channels 1 and 2.
NOTE: The Input select overrides the Insert send/return, meaning that the setting selected at the Input cannot be chosen at the Insert return. Also note that the Insert option is only available when both channels are either analog or digital. You will get the message: INSERT OFF, if the insert is no longer possible, and INSERT ON when it’s possible again.
AES/EBU - Digital AES/EBU can use up to 24 bits. Use the balanced XLR Digital In/Out for this connection. AES/EBU should use balanced 110 Ohm cables. The incoming sample rate will be displayed in the Digital box at the Signal page. The “Digital” LED’s will be blinking if no clock is present or if the Gold Channel cannot lock to the incoming clock.
S/PDIF - Digital S/PDIF can use up to 20 bits. Use the RCA jacks In/Out for this connection. S/PDIF should use unbalanced 75 Ohm cables. The incoming sample rate will be displayed in the Digital box in the Signal page. The “Digital” LED’s will be blinking if no clock is present or if the Gold Channel cannot lock to the incoming clock.
TOS link - Optical TOS link uses the S/PDIF digital format. Use the Optical In/Out for this connection. TOS link uses fiberoptic cables. The incoming sample rate will be displayed in the Digital box at the Signal page. The “Digital” LED’s will be blinking if no clock is present or if the Gold Channel cannot lock to the incoming clock.
