Main Output Format - ESI ESI2000 Operation Manual

!
Caution: Be sure to set Main Output
Format correctly for the type of output you
are using or degraded audio performance
could result.
Output Boost digitally raises the output level by +12 dB and is related
to the headroom control. The +12 dB boost provides the best signal-to-
noise ratio when only one or two channels are being played at a time.
However, playing back too many channels with the output boosted may
cause the output signal to clip. The Headroom control can be used to
reduce the effect of Output Boost. (0 dB of headroom = maximum
boost.) Output Boost affects both the analog and digital outputs.
1. Press the Master/Global key.

The optional Turbo card adds a digital audio output for interfacing with
other digital audio gear. The digital audio interface carries two channels
of audio information which duplicates the audio at the main outputs.
Both the analog and digital outputs are always active. Set the format to
optimize the ESI's output for whatever format is being used. The Output
format can be optimized for AES pro, AES consumer (S/PDIF) or
analog output.
