you can keep on mixing the music, while we handle the technology.
Note: At the time of printing, the M-Audio 2626 was the only piece of gear known not to comply with the
standards above and therefore requires the use of a bi-directional S/PDIF to AES transformer.
3. Digital Input Selected LEDs
Feature: Visual confirmation that a specific digital source has been selected by the Monitor ST Remote.
Yellow LED on = source selected. Yellow LED off = source not selected.
Benefit: Avoid putting post-its on all your gear to remember the combinations-- what? I already forgot...
Operation: The input source is selected from the Monitor ST Remote using the “Additional Switching”
buttons.
4. AES LED Lock Indicator
Feature: LED lights to confirm that the D/A has locked to the selected digital input. The D/A has an
instantaneous lock range of 32 kHz-192 kHz.
Benefit: Get an hour of your life back by confirming that the audible “snat” is not a digital sync issue
from the DAC-ST. “Sheesh, is the source bad? A/D out of sync? The cable shorted? The input
connector bunk?”
Operation: The input source is selected from the Monitor ST Remote using the “Additional Switching”
buttons. The Lock LED is tethered to the Monitor ST Remote’s selections.
Tip: , Green LED on = active source plugged in
Red LED on = nothing plugged in or source inactive (i.e. off)
5. Analog LED Signal Present Indicators
Feature: Visual confirmation that analog audio is present on the left and right rear XLR(M) outputs.
Benefit: Avoid an hour of troubleshooting to determine whether signal is present and humiliating yourself
in front of clients. “Holy Smokes, is the source bad? The cable shorted? The input jack sour?
Is that where I put my beer?”
6. Level Trim Controls
Feature: Calibrate the analog signal levels from +12dBu to +26dBu full scale.
Benefit: Monitoring at different levels completely skews your audio judgment. Calibrate all your gear
identically.
