Front Panel - PRESONUS DigiMax FS User Manual

OVERVIEW

1.2 Front Panel

Class A Mic Pre. Each channel of your DigiMax FS contains a Class A discrete
differential input amplifier, providing ultra low noise and wide gain control allowing the
DigiMax FS user to boost desirable signal without increasing unwanted background
noise.
Neutrik Combo Connectors. Each channel of the DigiMax FS has a Mic/Line
connector using the Neutrik Combo connector. This revolutionary style connector
enables you to use either ¼" phone or XLR connectors in the same female input. The
first two channels of the FIREPOD are ¼" instrument and microphone XLR inputs. The
line level inputs for these two channels are on the back panel of the DigiMax FS via
return 1 & 2.
48V Phantom Power. Channels one through four and five through eight of the DigiMax
FS have a 48V Phantom power available in groups. When the Phantom power switch is
engaged, power is supplied at a constant rate to that group of preamps, assuring
optimum performance of your condenser microphone(s). These switches are located on
the far left of the front panel.
Sample Rate Selector. The DigiMax FS has a switch on the front panel for sample rate
selection (44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, and 96k.)
EXT Clock. The external clock switch allows the DigiMax FS to choose an external
source for clocking. To switch between ADAT and BNC sync, simply engage the switch
again. The switch will light RED for ADAT sync and BLUE for BNC sync. When in either
mode, the DigiMax FS will automatically recognize which sampling rate is required for
optimum synchronization.
