I/O Settings
The 0404 PCI card is optimized for signal levels of -10dBV (consumer standard) for the
analog inputs and outputs. -10dBV levels are compatible with most consumer audio
gear.
Setting correct input and output levels is important! You can measure the level of an
input by inserting a meter into the first effect location in the strip. Adjust your external
equipment outputs for the optimum signal level. See “To Set the Input Levels of a Strip”
for details.
The optical digital TOSLINK input and output on the Digital Breakout Cable can be
used to transmit and receive stereo S/PDIF.
• PCI Card S/PDIF Input Selects between coaxial or optical S/PDIF input. S/PDIF
out is always transmitted on both the coaxial and
optical outputs.
• S/PDIF Output Format Selects between S/PDIF or AES/EBU format for S/PDIF.
This sets the S/PDIF-AES status bit, but does not affect
the signal level.
