Adjusting Playback Volume; Input Clock And Digital Mode Settings - Echo Gina3G Owner's Manual

Adjusting Playback Volume

Output volume adjustments are made in the digital domain. When you lower a
volume fader below 0dB, you are actually decreasing the number of available bits,
thereby taking away from the potential dynamic range of the system. Therefore,
we suggest that whenever possible you leave the output faders (Playback & Output
Bus) set to 0dB, and perform any necessary attenuation on your external mixer.
When the playback volume controls are set to 0dB and the input signal approaches
the maximum pre-clipping level, you can achieve the full 24-bit dynamic range of
the system.

Input Clock and Digital Mode Settings

The area within the yellow outline on the upper right lets you select your input
clock source and digital mode. If a given synchronization source (input clock) is
detected, the indicator next to the input clock button will turn green. You will only
be allowed to select input clocks that have been detected. In order for a digital
input clock (S/PDIF or ADAT) to be detected the console must be set to the
appropriate digital mode. Also, you may only select the digital mode if there aren't
any applications actively playing or recording. The console defaults to S/PDIF
RCA digital mode. To use the S/PDIF Optical I/O or ADAT optical I/O on your
audio interface you will need to select the corresponding digital mode. Your Echo
product is only capable of using one digital mode at a time.
Note: Sample rates above 48kHz will not be available while ADAT mode is
selected. This is because ADAT does not support sample rates higher than
48kHz.
