Channel 1-16 status and level LEDs
During normal operation, the brightness of these audio LEDs varies in proportion to the input signal level, to
indicate the presence of audio (i.e., they illuminate brighter for "louder" incoming digital signals).
In calibration mode, the LEDs will flash to represent which channels are being affected by the UP and DOWN
buttons. While in global calibration mode, all of the channels' indicators will flash since all channels will be affect-
ed. While in single channel mode, only the indicator for the individual channel that is being affected will flash
(more on this in the calibration section).

DIP Switches

DIP switches 1-4: The first four DIP switches control which AES channel pair will be selected as the sync source.
Switches 1 and 2 select the sync source for Bank 1, and switches 3 and 4 select the sync source for Bank 2. The
following is the selection matrix.
AES Sync
Source:
Channels 1/2
Channels 3/4
Channels 5/6
Channels 7/8
Channels 9/10
Channels 11/12
Channels 13/14
Channels 15/16
DIP switch 5: In order to operate the DA-16 in S/MUX mode, DIP switch 5 must be set to the UP position.
WC IN
The Word Clock input accepts typical 1x word clock (not 256x Slave Clock from Digidesign products). The DA-
16 may be clocked via its word clock input by making the appropriate selection using the front-panel SYNC but-
ton.

AES Input Pinout

The AES input is received through a single, female DB25 connector. The
pinout is similar to the "Yamaha" DB25 specification, except that all channel
pairs are configured as inputs. The pinout is as follows:
Pin Function
1 Channels 1/2 (Hot)
2 Channels 3/4 (Hot)
3 Channels 5/6 (Hot)
4 Channels 7/8 (Hot)
5 Channels 9/10 (Hot)
6 Channels 11/12 (Hot)
7 Channels 13/14 (Hot)
8 Channels 15/16 (Hot)
No Connection: 9, 11, and 23. Ground: 10, 12, 13, 22, 24, 25
