Selects between Consumer level (-10dBV) or
Professional level (+4dBu) inputs.
(Use the -10dBV setting if your input is too weak.)
Selects between Consumer level (-10dBV) or
Professional level (+4dBu) outputs.
(The +4 dBu setting outputs a hotter level.)
Selects between ADAT or optical S/PDIF for the
MicroDock ADAT Input. The coaxial S/PDIF input is
disabled when
S/PDIF optical is selected.
The Mic/Hi-Z inputs have built-in "soft limiters" which
automatically turn down the gain before the signal
overloads the A/D converters. The soft limiters allow
you to record a hotter signal without fear of clipping.
This control turns the soft limiters On or Off.
See "Making the Best Possible Recording"
information about the soft limiters.
Selects between ADAT or optical S/PDIF for the
MicroDock ADAT Output. The coaxial S/PDIF Output is
disabled when S/PDIF optical is selected.
Selects between S/PDIF or AES/EBU format for S/PDIF .
This sets the S/PDIF-AES status bit, but does not affect
the signal level.
