Quick Setup Notes
The Linear Acoustic AERO.one is configured at the factory and is ready to go on the air
after making the proper input and output connections and determining if upmixing is de-
sired.
•
Apply audio to AES Main Input 1/2 (or via SDI 1/2)
•
In Setup -> I/O menu make sure Input 1/2 = AES 1/2 (or SDI 1/2)
•
Set Clock Reference = AES 1 (or SDI)
•
The front panel Reference indicator should be green.
•
The main menu will default to showing input and output meters, and there should be
activity on some or all of the first six meters.
•
Processed audio will be available on the main outputs 1-6 and a two channel down-
mixed version will be present on the 7/8 output.
The best way to learn the processor is to explore the different settings with audio applied
and monitored. There are several factory presets to support many different tastes. Some
presets may not sound much different at first, but will perform very differently depending
on program content. Modern broadcast television offers the ability to process less, and
even the heaviest presets in the AERO.one are moderate by comparison to what might be
found in traditional NTSC audio processors.
NOTE: For best audio quality, the AERO.one should be the only processor in line
with station audio. Please make sure to remove any legacy processing that
might have been installed for NTSC operation as it will impair the perfor-
mance capabilities of the AERO.one. We suggest checking drawings and
physical installations to make sure that this old gear is removed.
