MAIN PAGE Input
Select the In section on the Main page using the
BLOCK keys.
The global level controls should be set to optimize the
performance of the 24 bit A/D converter in the
Finalizer.
The In block is divided into two pages accessible by
using the MENU keys. The Input choice in page 1
enables or disables other parameters such as External
Insert and Sample Rate Conversion and the Input
choice should therefore be carried out as step no. 1.
Please note that the DSP MODE 48/96 is available
only in the Finalizer 96.
Basic operation
Press the PARAMETER keys to move the cursor, and turn the
ADJUST wheel to change values.

Considerations setting up the Input page:
Maximum A/D performance
When converting from Analog to Digital, maximum A/D
performance is crucial to maintain the maximum quality. In order
to achieve this, the A/D converter should be given the best
operational conditions. Setting the clock of the converter is one of
the points where you have to carefully consider your choice.
The ideal situation for any converter is to use the internal clock of
the converter itself. This will ensure a minimum of artifacts like
jitter.
Input Sample Rate and Sample Rate Conversion (SRC)
When a Digital Input is used, the transmitting device and the
Finalizer need to run at the same Clock Rate, or Sample Rate
Conversion (SRC) must to be used.
If the SRC is off, you have to set either the Finalizer in External
Clock mode, or the transmitting device must get a Clock Rate
from the Finalizer running in internal clock mode.
To test the Digital connection, try listening for a minute or so to a
sine tone at e.g. -18dBFS generated by the transmitting device. If
you hear no distortion or glitches, youve probably got it right.
