Nominal Levels

The console buttons that are labeled “+4” or “-10” are nominal level buttons.

These buttons allow you to change the nominal level settings for the analog inputs

and outputs. By default, the levels are set to send a +4dBu signal. You can switch

between +4dBu (professional level) and –10dBV (consumer level) for each analog

output and input by clicking on the appropriate button. This feature allows you to

connect either professional or consumer gear to each input and output.

Selecting the -10 level provides a digital boost after the converters. For universal

inputs with an analog trim knob you should leave the nominal level in the +4

default position. Unless you need a boost for the digital inputs, you should also

leave them in the +4 nominal setting.

Settings Tab

Clicking the “Settings” tab allows you to access settings for controlling your

AudioFire hardware. The Settings page includes the Sample rate, Core Audio

sample rate (Vista/Windows 7 only), Clock source, Digital mode, S/PDIF format,

Wave devices, Buffer size and the About button.
