The Options Menu
The first option
General…
, is grayed out because it is not currently
supported. It will be used in future driver releases for such things as
resetting the Console to its default settings.
The second and third options are
Set Input +4/-10…
and
Set Output +4/-
10…
These options are also grayed out since they are not used for Mona.
Instead of having these software options, Mona has input trim controls and
dedicated +4dBu and –10dBV outputs on its rack-mount audio interface
box.
The fourth option is
MTC Settings…
This option is also grayed out as it is
only used for Layla24.
S/PDIF Output Format
The fifth and sixth options are
S/PDIF Pro
and
S/PDIF Consumer
. Mona
can transmit digital information in either of two formats, “professional” or
“consumer.” The primary difference between the two is in the
implementation of the SCMS copy protection bit, which, in the
Consumer
format, prevents the user from making digital copies of a digital copy.
Mona’s S/PDIF output defaults to the
Professional
format. If you are
recording from Mona into a consumer DAT deck, CD recorder, or Mini
Disc recorder, the device may not be able to recognize the signal until you
switch Mona’s output to
Consumer
.
We have provided a software switch in the Mona driver that allows you to
select which format Mona transmits. In the
Options
menu, you’ll see a
check next to
S/PDIF Pro
or
S/PDIF Consumer
. The format that is
checked is the current one. Select the appropriate format for your DAT,
CD recorder, or Mini Disc recorder (if you don’t know which one to use
and are having difficulties, simply try the one that is not currently
checked).
Important note: Mona never transmits the SCMS bit; regardless of which
format is selected.
