4.2 Quick Start

After connection of all cables and power-on of the device, the configuration of the M-32 DA

starts in the CLOCK section. Choose a clock source and a sample rate.

Connect the TRS-jacks or the D-sub connectors with the analog signal receiver used for moni-

toring. Change the output level by pressing ANALOG OUPUT until the output level is sufficient

to avoid noisy operation.

The analog line outputs of the M-32 DA can be accessed by using D-sub (with an optional XLR

multicore) and 1/4" TRS jacks. They have their own output drivers respectively and can there-

fore be used simultaneously.

The electronic output stage of the TRS jacks is built in a servo-balanced design which handles

unbalanced (mono plugs) and balanced (stereo plugs) correctly, automatically adjusting the

level reference.

The electronic output stage of the D-sub connector does not operate servo-balanced! When

connecting unbalanced equipment, make sure pin 3 of the XLR output is not connected. A con-

nection to ground can cause a higher THD value (higher distortion)!

The M-32 DA stores all current settings and automatically activates them when the device is

turned on.
