Digital I/O Option - SABINE Power-Q Operating Information Manual

To enable your POWER-Q Digital I/O option, your POWER-Q must have firmware 2.1 or higher,
and must be equipped with the optional D-I/O board. If your unit is so equipped the POWER-Q
back panel will feature AES/EBU digital in/out connectors. These are used to connect to other
digital equipment in your signal path.
To set up your digital options, select #12 ("DIGITAL I/O") from the POWER-Q MAIN MENU.
The POWER-Q will operate with either an analog or digital input source. Select the appropriate
source using the arrow keys and data wheel. NOTE: when choosing a digital input, the POWER-
Q's ClipGuard function is automatically disabled, so only the output level of the unit will be adjust-
able when using the controls found in the GLOBAL PARAMETERS screen.
Sample rate of the POWER-Q output is adjustable using the arrow keys and data wheel. Select-
able samples rates include 32 KHz, 44.1 KHz, 48 KHz, or a match to the sample rate of the digital
input source.
Regardless of the input chosen, the POWER-Q will provide simultaneous digital and analog
outputs. However, please note one important consideration: when monitoring the digital output
from an analog source, change the Clip Adjust setting in the GLOBAL PARAMETERS screen to
"Manual" and adjust the POWER-Q gain structure to suit your application (see Section 17 for
details about setting GLOBAL PARAMETERS).
