CONVERT-8 | 3
5. METERING
[DIGITAL LED METERS PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: 8 digital LED meters.
Benefit: Instant visual reference for all 8 inputs simultaneously.
Tip: , When the “3 Word Over Indicator” turns the LED from green to red, this signifies that three consecutive samples have
clipped. This is the limit of tolerance for a CD pressing plant to reject the project and a warning- cease flirting with
digital overs.
6. WORD CLOCK
[WORD CLOCK SELECT SECTION PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: 3 Modes: Normal, External and Master.
Benefit: Normal: With the button de-selected (dim light) the CONVERT-8 will sync to any incoming clock via any of the digital
sources.
External: Selecting this button will make the CONVERT-8 slave to an external word clock source. For example, if
utilizing a master studio clock, this would distribute WC to the CONVERT-8.
Master: Depress the button for 5 seconds. The LED will blink. Now the CONVERT-8 is the master studio clock and other
digital sources will slave to it. Audition the difference.
Note: When in Master clock mode, the sample rate must be manually selected and the destination devices must be set to the
identical sample rate (i.e. all units at 192kHz).
Tip: , Try utilizing the CONVERT-8 as the master clock. Our high profile beta testers found it “remarkably revealing & detailed”
and “...this is the best sounding clock auditioned to date- and we’ve tried everything.”
