I/O SETUP
Please note that when using internal clock with
external digital audio, the incoming digital audio
must be in sync with the TRIPLE•C internal clock in
order to avoid slip-samples.
"***Rate Mismatch****"
This Error message will occur in the display if the TRIPLE•C
detects slip-samples. Typically this problem only occurs in
special clock setups e.g. if the TRIPLE•C is running via
internal clock, while processing audio from the Digital Input.
If the incoming clock and the internal clock does not match
the TRIPLE•C will display the above written error message.
Out Range
Range: 2dBu, 8dBu, 14dBu and 20dBu.
Sets the maximum gain range of the analog Output stage.
Analog Out Level
Adjusts the analog Output level. Range: 0 to -100dB
Digital In Gain
Adjusts the Digital In level. This parameter is only active
when Digital In is selected.
Dither
Going from one type of bit resolution to a lower, e.g. from
24 bit to 16 bit, you actually loose 8 bits of information.
The process of cutting off bits is called truncation and it
introduces digital distortion of low level signals, due to the
lack of complete signal information. To compensate for this,
dither must be applied. Dither is a small amount of filtered
noise that generates randomization at the noise floor,
thereby ensuring a less distorted low level signal.
Dithering is relevant only on digital Outputs and it is always
the receiving device that determines the number of bits you
must dither to. A CDR or a DAT recorder should normally
be dithered to 16 bit.
Status Bits
Sets whether the TRIPLE•C is sending out AES/EBU
(professional standard) or S/PDIF (consumer standard)
status bits.
MIDI Channel
Range: Off/1-16/Omni.
Sets the responding MIDI channel of the TRIPLE•C.
I/O Setup
In the I/O menu you will find all system related parameters
such as Input/Output settings, analog/digital, Status Bit,
Dither and various MIDI settings. For successful operation
of the TRIPLE•C these parameters must be correctly set !
To access the I/O menu
Press MENU.
Select I/O Menu using the VALUE SET wheel.
Press ENTER to enter I/O Menu.
In the I/O Menu you select parameters using the
PARAMETER wheel and you change values using the
VALUE SET wheel.
Input
Select between Analog or Digital.
Analog Input
When "Analog" is selected the TRIPLE•C automatically
defaults to the internal 44.1kHz clock as Sample Rate.
Digital Input
When "Digital" is selected the TRIPLE•C attempts to lock to
the S/PDIF Input. During the lock-up period the "DI" display
icon blinks indicating none or unacceptable clock, and the
Outputs are muted. When lock is achieved the "DI" icon
turns solid, and the Outputs are un-muted.
Clock
Analog Input
When Input source is analog the following Sample Rates
are available:
Internal 44.1kHz - The TRIPLE•C runs at internal 44.1kHz.
Internal 48kHz - The TRIPLE•C runs at internal 48kHz.
Digital - The TRIPLE•C locks to the incoming digital clock.
Digital Input
When Input Source is digital the following Sample Rates
are available:
Internal 44.1kHz - The TRIPLE•C runs at internal 44.1kHz.
Internal 48kHz - The TRIPLE•C runs at internal 48kHz.
Digital - The TRIPLE•C locks to the incoming digital clock.
