the digital domain. Users should find the
audio quality of the monitor and headphone
outputs to be excellent, with high maximum
output level and low distortion. While this is
a positive situation, it does allow high signal
levels to be present on connected head-
phones or related devices. Care must be
taken to limit exposure to excessive signal
levels so as not to cause hearing damage.
The monitor section can be selected to
function in either a single-channel or a
dual-channel mode. In the single-channel
mode each input and each output can be
individually monitored. In this way any one
of the eight total sources can be monitored.
Pressing the up or down source pushbut-
ton switches will move between individual
channels. In the dual-channel mode four
pairs of channels can be selected for moni-
toring. These pairs consist of inputs 1 and
2, inputs 3 and 4, outputs 1 and 2, and out-
puts 3 and 4. Simultaneously pressing the
monitor section’s up and down pushbutton
switches will alternate (“toggle”) between
the single-channel mode and the dual-
channel mode.
When using the up and down pushbuttons
to change the source(s) to be monitored a
slight delay will be present before the new
audio source(s) become active. This is a
software function that allows a user to “hop
over” sources that are not actually intended
to be selected. An example might offer
clarification. Begin from the condition where
the single-channel mode was selected and
output 1 was being monitored. A user then
wants to monitor output 4 so they rapidly
press the down button three times. The
Model 5330’s software would ignore the
fact that output 2 and output 3 were each
momentary selected while directly chang-
ing the source from output 1 to output 4.
This prevents momentary “bursts” of audio
from monitor sources that were not actually
desired.
When in the single-channel mode the level
of the selected source will be displayed
on the left level meter. The source will be
routed to both the left and right channels of
the monitor and headphone outputs, pro-
viding a dual-channel listening experience.
When in the dual-channel monitor mode
the level of the source selected for the left
channel will display on the left meter and be
routed to the left channel of the monitor and
headphone outputs. The level of the source
selected for the right channel will be dis-
played on the right meter as well as being
routed to the right channel of the monitor
and headphone outputs.
Power Down
Whenever power is disconnected from a
functioning Model 5330 the unit’s current
operating parameters are saved in non-
volatile memory. In this way all settings,
including auxiliary output source, monitor
mode, and monitor source, will be restored
upon the next power-up cycle.
Technical Notes
IP Address Assignment
By default the Model 5330’s Ethernet inter-
face will attempt to automatically obtain an
IP address and associated settings using
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Pro-
tocol). If a DHCP server is not detected an
IP address will automatically be assigned
using the link-local protocol. This protocol is
known in the Microsoft® world as Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA). It is also
sometimes referred to as auto-IP. Link-local
