DIGITAL AUDIO SOURCE SELECTION (NXAEDT ONLY)
Unlike NXAE104 and NXDT104
mk2
cards, the NXAEDT card is offering both Dante
TM
and AES/EBU digital
audio protocols.
When an NXAEDT card is fitted inside the expansion slot, a new button (4) is displayed on
the input patch page. This button allows you to change the digital audio source from the
following popup:
When Dante
TM
is selected, the four Dante
TM
channels are available on E/F/G/H inputs. When AES/EBU is
selected, the two AES/EBU channels (from the XLR input) are available on E/F inputs, G/H inputs being
unused.
CHECKING THE OUTPUT PATCH
On all channel settings pages, the Speaker Preset Name is blinking alternatively with the output letter and
the output pinout (1+/1- or 2+/2- of the NL4 connector). Check that the NEXO Speakers are correctly
connected.
Send some low-level audio or test signal into the NXAMPmk2 and check that each Speaker or Sub is
outputting a non-distorted sound (you might need to check the channel output volume first, see next
paragraph).
Once this has been checked, the system is ready to use. Extra settings like Gain, Delays or EQs can be
applied to tune up the sound further.
VOLUME
Select a channel (button is highlighted), then turn the wheel to change the volume setting. You can select
multiple channels, when a selected channel reaches the maximum value, it will cease to increase by
continuing to turn the wheel, but other selected channels may still increase the setting; Be careful not to
change a gap between two channel settings when selecting multiple channels at the same time.
NB: You can adjust large differences of gain between channels with the volume menu. There is no difference
between gain and volume setting; this distinction is only done by analogy with traditional amplifiers. The
CPU will always check gain, volume and patch settings and find the best combination between analog and
digital gain to optimize the dynamic range of the system.
