4. OPERATION REFERENCE
To reduce front-panel and operational complexity, the control of the AD-2 is provided by
means of various preset configurations complemented by a menu system which allows
access to all operating parameters individually.
You may choose a variety of methods to obtain your desired configuration:
" Menu system
" Factory Preset stores
" User stores (if loaded)
" Setup Wizard
All the control settings are saved in permanent memory so that they are remembered
when the unit is off.
4.1. General configuration rules
The AD-2 is a powerful and flexible tool and these benefits bring with them a degree of
complexity.
In addition to the operating methods mentioned above, there are several guidelines that
are worth remembering when trying to set up complex configurations.
1. Sampling rate for Main and Aux can generally be set independently. However,
only Aux can be set to 32kHz sampling.
2. If Aux is high-rate (88.2 or 96.0kHz) then the sample-rates for Main and Aux must
be the same.
3. In A-D mode, if Main is low rate (44.1 or 48.0kHz) the sample-rates for Main and
Aux must be the same.
4. If the AD-2 is sample-rate converting in D-D mode so that there are different
input and output sample-rates, then Main and Aux must run at either the input
sample rate or the sample-rate-converted rate.
5. Aux may not drive Split96 (2-wire) format.
