DA-16X – User’s Guide
When an X-Option card is installed, the DA-16X may be set to one of two output configurations, Standard and
Advanced Option.
When Standard routing is enabled, only one signal path is present – the selected digital input to the analog out-
puts. When Advanced Option routing is enabled, two signal paths are present – 1) ADAT or AES digital input to
X-Option card outputs; 2) X-Option card inputs to analog outputs.
Please see pages 8 & 9 for Advanced Option Routing examples
Switching the DA-16X between Routing modes may only be accomplished when powering on the unit.
To toggle between Standard and Advanced Option routing modes, press and hold the UP button while powering
on the unit; when Standard routing is enabled, “Apogee DA-16X” scrolls across the Sample Rate Display; when
Advanced Option routing is enabled, “Apogee DA-16X 2.0” scrolls across the Sample Rate Display
IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING ADVANDED OPTION ROUTING MODE
Advanced Option routing will modify the manner in which an X-HD equipped DA-16X is detected in Pro Tools,
reflecting the additional available inputs.
