MIDAS DL16 Getting started
Step 3: Getting started
Before powering the unit on, make all
audio and digital connections.
Turn on the power.
The default con guration is active when
all status LEDs above the CONFIG button
are o (see Seq . 1 in Operation
ModeChart). If your application requires a di erent
output setup, press and hold the CONFIG button to
enter con guration mode. Whilepressing the
CONFIG button, turn the SELECT/ADJUST knob to
scroll through the items. You can select from the
following options:
• • Engage the SN MASTER function to designate
the master unit when using two DL16 units in a
standalone snake application. Thisis available in
4 modes, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, eachwith Splitter
mode engaged or disengaged.
• • Engage the SPLITTER function to send the
16 local input signals directly to the ADAT OUT
and P16 jacks. When the SPLITTER function is
disengaged, theADAT OUT jacks carry AES50
channels 17-32 and P16 carries channels 33-48.
• • Select whether the OUTPUT jacks 1-8 carry the
AES50 channels 1-8 (LEDs o ), 9-16, or 17-24 by
engaging the OUT +8 or OUT +16 function.
Release the CONFIG button to exit
con guration mode. See the Operation
Mode Chart for moredetails.
Repeatedly press the SELECT/ADJUST
knob until the left side of the display
shows “In”. Turn the SELECT/ADJUST
knob to select one of the inputs 1-16.
Press the 48 V button to toggle the
selected channel’s phantom power
on/o , if necessary.
Press the GAIN button. The button will
light, and the gain can now be adjusted
with the SELECT/ADJUST knob. Turn the
knob to the right until the loudest peaks in your
speaking or playing cause the -9 dB LED to light
brie y in the meter.
With headphones connected to the
PHONES jack, turn the adjacent
MONITORING LEVEL knob up to a
comfortable listening level.
