Front Panel Indicators

DAC1 Front panel
In the front panel you will see ten (10) indication LEDs, two VU meters, one Input selector push button
and one Standby push button.
The center LED (D) indicates that the device is powered on, in working condition.
The 4 input LEDs (E) indicate the selected digital input. You can manually select the preferable input
with the Input selector push button on the right of the front panel (G).
The 4 status LEDs (C) indicate the locked sampling frequency rates of the input digital signal. The
'Unlocked' LED indicates that there is no digital signal on input or the sampling frequency of the digital
signal is not compatible with dac1 reference.
On the left of the front panel, you will find the Standby push button and indication LED (A). When
active, it indicates that dac1 reference is in Standby Mode. You can leave the device in Standby Mode
without the need to turn off the main power switch on the back panel.
To the left and right of the 8 center LEDs you will see two retro analog VU meters (B & F). You can
accurately monitor the output level of each channel on dB scale.
