Record function, Exotik+Da | Linn EXOTIK PRE-AMPLIFIER instruction

Record function

The record function allows you to route a source signal to a recording device such as a VCR or DAT recorder.

The record functions available on your EXOTIK are dependent on whether your unit includes, or does not include the digital audio module (if your unit has the digital audio module, EXOTIK+DA is shown on the front panel display when the unit is in standby mode).*

The differences in record functionality between the two variants is shown below:

Standard EXOTIK
	Analogue Record Outputs
Analogue source
Analogue source	Any analogue source can be
	routed to the analogue outputs
EXOTIK+DA
	Analogue Record Outputs	Digital Record Outputs

Analogue source	Any analogue source can be	No analogue source can
	routed to the analogue outputs	be routed to the digital outputs

Digital source	Only the digital source	Only the digital source
	currently being listened to can	currently being listened to
	be routed to the analogue	can be routed to the
	outputs	digital outputs

To set a record path:

●Press the (record) key on the handset.

●Use the / keys to select the source you want to record, then press ‘enter’.

*The digital audio module is available as an upgrade to the standard EXOTIK.

Operation English

Notes on the sources:

NO SOURCE: No record path will be set.

AS KNEKT: When a record path on the EXOTIK is being used, this setting will allow users of a KNEKT Line Driver system to change the source they are listening to (which also changes the record path). To protect a record path, select the required record option. Once recording has finished, reselect the AS KNEKT option.

Source inputs set to NONE will not be shown.

Additional step for an EXOTIK+DA:

●Use the / keys to select the record mode you want to use for making the recording, then press ‘enter’.

The available record modes are:

Option	Information
LtRt 44.1 kHz	Choose the option that suits your recording device’s
LtRt 48 kHz	operating frequency. (With these options, multi-channel
LtRt 88.2 kHz	signals are downmixed to two channels)
LtRt 96 kHz

LtRt As Input	Output frequency is the same as the input frequency, and
	multi-channel signals are downmixed to two channels

Bit Perfect	Output frequency is the same as the input frequency and
	there is no processing of the signal

Analog*	Passes audio signals to the analogue outputs

*Analog is the only record mode available on the standard EXOTIK.

Notes:

The source audio signal is routed to either all of the analogue and/or all of the digital outputs simultaneously. It is not necessary to specify which output you are using.

The available record modes are dependent on whether the input signal is analogue or digital.

For reasons of copyright defence some audio and video discs incorporate protection systems that prevent them from being recorded.
