3.2B SAMPLE RATE
Four sample rates are available: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz. Pressing the SAMPLE RATE
button on the front panel will toggle between these four rates. Sample rates are not user adjustable
when in digital input mode; the sample rate will automatically be set to the rate of the incoming digital
data.
3.2C WORD LENGTH
Three word lengths are available: 16-bit, 20-bit, and 24-bit. Pressing the WORD LENGTH button on
the front panel will toggle between these three word lengths. Word lengths are user-selectable when in
digital input mode; note that it is therefore possible to select a shorter word length than is being
received at the digital input, resulting in truncated data.
