INPUT LEVEL meters

Two 12-segment LED bargraphs indicate the level of the incoming digital audio when the

input source is set to AES/EBU, CD/DAT, or Y2 (not affected by the level controls), or the

level of the analog input signals when the input source is set to ANALOG (controlled by

the "ANALOG IN" level controls).

NOTE:

Unlike peak meters on analog equipment that light up approximately 3 ~ 6dB

before signal clipping, CLIP LEDs on digital equipment light up when the

signal has actually clipped. Digital audio signal clipping normally produces

unpleasant distortion, pops, and clicks, so care must be taken when setting

the recording level for analog input signals. See "Recording" on page 20 for

more details.

OUTPUT LEVEL meters

Four 12-segment LED bargraphs that indicate the output level of channels 1 ~ 4. The

"CLIP" LED indicates an output level of +17dBm.

NOTE:

Just like the input level meters, lighting an output level meter's "CLIP" LED

should be avoided to prevent signal distortion. This situation may occur when

two or more CBX-D5 audio channels are mixed, or if excessive EQ is

applied. The CBX-D5 does not have any output level controls, the output

level is set by the controlling software.

ANALOG IN LEVEL control

Independent level controls for analog input channels 1 and 2. As well as independent level

control, these controls can also be used to balance the left and right channels of a stereo

source connected to the analog inputs.

NOTE:

These controls have no effect on the AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2 digital

inputs and outputs.

PHONES VOL

Adjusts the volume level of the headphones.

PHONES connection

A stereo 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) phone jack used for connecting a pair of stereo headphones.

All four CBX-D5 audio channels can be monitored – channels 1 and 3 appear in the left

speaker and channels 2 and 4 in the right.
