The front of the M-32 DA features 32 LED level meters, eleven select keys, and 32 LEDs pro-
viding a detailed status display.
The analog output level can be changed by pushing the ANALOG OUTPUT key.
M-32 DA: The key MADI IN routes the channels 1 to 32 or 33 to 64 of the MADI input to the
analog converters.
M-16 DA: The key MADI OUT routes the channels 1 to 16, 17 to 32, 33 to 48 or 49 to 64 of the
MADI input to the analog converters.
The MADI input signal for pass-through and cascading units can be optical or coaxial. The key
INPUT switches the source. STATE displays the current status of the input signal (Lock / Sync,
56- / 64-channel mode, 48K Frame / 96K Frame format).
The MADI output signal is configured in the MADI OUTPUT section. The key FRAME changes
between 48K and 96K Frame, the key FORMAT between 56-channel and 64-channel mode.
The key ADAT SYNC determines the signal source of the AD-converters: ADAT and MADI.
The 32 level meter of the DIGITAL INPUT LEVEL
DISPLAY show the input level per channel as digital
value (dBFS).
In the CLOCK SECTION the current clock reference
and frequency multiplier is chosen.
METER PH provides a Peak Hold function, either
permanently (ON) or switched off by Auto Reset
(AR) after 3 seconds.
REMOTE defines the source for MIDI remote control
operation: MADI or 5-pin DIN jack.
