4.2 Quick Start

After connection of all cables and power-on of the device, the configuration of the M-32 DA
starts in the CLOCK section. Choose a clock source and a sample rate.
Connect the TRS-jacks or the D-sub connectors with the analog signal receiver used for moni-
toring. Change the output level by pressing ANALOG OUPUT until the output level is sufficient
to avoid noisy operation.
The analog line outputs of the M-32 DA can be accessed by using D-sub (with an optional XLR
multicore) and 1/4" TRS jacks. They have their own output drivers respectively and can there-
fore be used simultaneously.
The electronic output stage of the TRS jacks is built in a servo-balanced design which handles
unbalanced (mono plugs) and balanced (stereo plugs) correctly, automatically adjusting the
level reference.
The electronic output stage of the D-sub connector does not operate servo-balanced! When
connecting unbalanced equipment, make sure pin 3 of the XLR output is not connected. A con-
nection to ground can cause a higher THD value (higher distortion)!
The M-32 DA stores all current settings and automatically activates them when the device is
turned on.
