Getting Started Quickly

CONNECTING POWER

The Rosetta 800 accepts an AC input of 100 to 240v AC at a frequency of 50
to 60 Hz. Thus, the unit may be connected to virtually any AC power outlet
found worldwide without concern for voltage settings or fuse ratings.

RESET

To reset the Rosetta 800, power up the unit while pressing the SAMPLE RATE
button. This provides a quick method to return to factory default settings when
exploring the unit's functionality and capabilities.

QUICKSTART

To get started using the Rosetta 800 quickly, please follow these steps:
1) Connect the AC input, and press the POWER button.
2) Connect an analog source to the ANALOG INs, connect a digital device to
the appropriate digital I/O (ADAT is used in this example), and connect the
ANALOG OUTs to a monitoring system.
3) Set SAMPLE RATE to 44.1, set SOURCE TO DIGITAL OUTS to ANALOG,
and set SOURCE TO ANALOG OUTS to ADAT, as shown above.
SIGNAL FLOW
The Rosetta 800 offers the possibility to configure two independent signal
paths through the unit. In most cases, the first signal path is configured as
an A/D stage before a digital recording device while the second signal path
is configured as a D/A stage after the recording device.
For example, when the Rosetta 800 is configured to the Quickstart setting
noted above, the following two signal paths are present: 1) the analog
sources to be recorded are connected to the Rosetta analog inputs,
converted to digital and routed to all Rosetta digital outputs including the
ADAT output, connected to an ADAT recording device input; 2) the ADAT
device output is connected to the Rosetta ADAT input, which is converted to
analog and routed to the Rosetta analog outputs, connected to a monitoring
system. Other configuration examples are given in the back of this manual.
USING THIS MANUAL
While the regularly scheduled manual runs
in the adjacent text, in-depth explanations,
operational warnings and other digressions
will be presented in these columns.
In this manual, "parameters" are defined
as the characteristics of operation, such as
SAMPLE RATE or SYNC source, and are
capitalized in this manner :
SAMPLE RATE.
"Values" are defined as the choices
available for each parameter – for example,
the parameter SAMPLE RATE has the
values 44.1, 48, and 96. Values are
italicized in this manner: 44.1
"Settings" are defined as the entire set of
parameters and values.
