Step 5: In addition to providing a high-quality master clock for your entire studio (or distributing an
external clock to your digital equipment), the 2192 can be used for a variety of functions, including
analog to digital (A/D) conversion, digital to analog (D/A) conversion, and transcoding (converting
between different digital formats). Detailed instructions are given on pages 15 - 24 in this owners
manual for each application. Refer to the list below for step-by-step directions in setting up your 2192
and interconnected equipment for each of these functions:
• A/D Conversion Using Internal Clock - page 15
• A/D Conversion Using External Clock - page 16
• D/A Conversion Using Internal Clock - page 17
• D/A Conversion Using Digital Audio Source Clock - page 18
• D/A Conversion Using External Word Clock - page 19
• D/A Conversion of AES/SPDIF Audio Using ADAT Clock - page 20
• D/A Conversion of ADAT Audio Using AES/SPDIF Clock - page 21
• Transcoding Using Internal Clock - page 22
• Transcoding Using Digital Audio Source Clock - page 23
• Transcoding Using Alternate Clock - page 24
Step 6: Power on the 2192. After a delay of approximately 2 seconds (during which the 2192 power
conditioner circuits perform their initial calibrations), the Power lamp (immediately above the Power
switch) will light blue and the Clock Status lamp will light green (if the 2192 is successfully locked to
the selected clock source) or red (if unlocked).
Step 7: Unmute your monitors and, at the source device, slowly raise the level of the selected input
signal. You should now be hearing signal, with the 2192 input and output meters becoming active.
Step 8: Experiment with different front panel switch and knob settings until you are familiar with their
operation and functionality. You’ll undoubtedly discover lots of new uses for your 2192!
 For more information, refer to the “Front Panel” and “Rear Panel” sections on pages
4 - 11 of this manual.
 Because signals are briefly interrupted when new settings are applied, do not change any
front panel knob or switch settings during recording or whenever conversion or
transcoding is actively occurring.
 The 2192 does not have a master volume control, therefore you must connect it to a mixer
or other device that has a volume control.
