2.2 Fast Start

Figure 2: Basic Enhancement Setup

Fast start the MicroDAC IV as follows using Figure 2 as a guide:

1. Connect the audio source(s) to the LEFT (PRI) and RIGHT (REF) ANALOG INPUT RCA jacks

on the MicroDAC IV rear panel as shown in Table 1. Although this table assumes a live

microphone preamp connected to the input of the MicroDAC IV, the signal could come from

many types of sources such as a cassette or micro-cassette recorder, DAT recorder,

videocassette recorder, telephone tap, or radio receiver. Note that the RIGHT (REF) signal is

only used in stereo configuration and/or with the 2CH Adaptive filter.

2. If you wish to record the enhanced audio, connect the line-level audio inputs (TAPE IN jacks) of

your Enhanced Tape Recorder to the LEFT and RIGHT ANALOG OUTPUT jacks on the

MicroDAC IV rear panel as shown. Alternatively, the digital output stream may be directly

recorded by connecting the 44.1KHz DIGITAL OUTPUT to the digital input of the DAT

recorder.

3. Turn the phones VOLUME control to MIN, then connect the stereo headphones to the PHONES

jack.

4. Rotate both INPUT LEVEL knobs located on the front panel fully counter-clockwise and power

the MicroDAC IV on. Switch the front panel MODE switch to BYPASS, so the signal input will

flow directly to the output without being altered. As the source audio (live or recorded) plays,

adjust the front panel INPUT LEVEL knobs clockwise until the tricolor INPUT LEVEL LEDs flash
