DIGITAL AUDIO CONVERTERS - RB-ADDA

VERTERS
In Slave Sync Mode, switch position D, the digital output sample rate follows the digital
input. When the digital input signal is not present the digital output is turned o.
The following table, also printed on the top of the unit, summarises the above settings
and shows the sample rate generated by the internal clock generator in master and auto
sync modes.

Test/Calibration Mode
For optimum performance of the RB-ADDA, the unit should be calibrated when it has been
powered up for approximately 10-15 minutes. The circuitry and chipsets contained in the
unit will warm up during this time and the performance will deteriorate unless calibrated
(the noise oor and dynamic range will be 1-2dB down on their best). The calibration cycle
calibrates the gain and the zero reference of the A/D converter.
To calibrate the RB-ADDA, set the rotary FREQUENCIES AND SYNC MODES switch to position
“F”. The power LED on the front panel will ash quickly for 2 – 3 seconds and will illuminate
fully when the unit is calibrated. Once calibration is complete, reset the rotary switch to the
position that you require.
