User manual E-MU 1616 QUICK START

[. . . ] â· Before installing a PCI card into your computer, you should be grounded. Use a ground strap to discharge any static electric charge built up on your body. The ground strap attaches to your wrist and any unpainted metal surface within your computer. After Software Installation: Click on the E-MU icon in the Windows SysTray to open PatchMix DSP then click the , ? [. . . ] The E-MU 1010 PCI card is the heart of the system and contains E-MU's powerful E-DSP chip. The powerful hardware DSP on this card leaves more power free on your CPU for additional software plug-ins and other tasks. This cable provides a two-way data link between the E-MU 1010 and the MicroDock. S/PDIF digital I/O can be used for the reception and/or transmission of digital data from external digital devices such as a DAT machine, an external analog-to-digital converter or an external signal processor equipped with digital inputs and outputs. The embedded clock contained in the input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. The S/PDIF out can be configured in either Professional or Consumer mode, always with 24-bits of resolution. The embedded clock contained in the input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. ADAT can also be transmitted and received at 96kHz or 192kHz using the S/MUX standard which encodes the extra data onto multiple channels. The I/O daughter card provides one pair of 24-bit balanced analog inputs and one pair of 24-bit balanced analog outputs, plus MIDI in and out. The I/O daughter card provides the analog inputs, outputs, and MIDI interface for E-MU digital audio systems which don't include the MicroDock. The I/O Daughter card takes up one extra space on the back panel of your computer, and connects to the E-MU 1010 PCI card via an internal 40-pin ribbon cable. The inputs can be connected to any line level stereo signal from a keyboard, CD-player, cassette deck, etc. The outputs can feed any line level input such as a mixing board, the auxiliary input on your stereo, or a set of powered speakers. Balanced cables provide better noise immunity and +6dB higher signal level. The output line level can be set to accommodate the consumer -10dBV standard, or the pro audio +4 dBu standard in the I/O screen of the Session Settings dialog box. The MIDI input and output port can be assigned in your specific MIDI application. Connect the MIDI adapter cable that came with your I/O Daughter card to the mini-DIN connectors on the card. * Note: Line Inputs 2L/2R and Phono 2L/2R cannot be used at the same time. Use the center Phone Jack for High Impedance instruments such as electric guitar or bass. The front of the MicroDock provides 2 balanced mic/ line preamp inputs, 8 channels of ADAT digital input/output, stereo S/PDIF digital input/output, and a stereo headphone output with volume control/power switch. The front panel mono Mic/Line inputs A & B can be used as balanced microphone inputs, hi-Z guitar pickup inputs, or balanced line level inputs. The Neutrik combination jack accepts microphones using a standard XLR connector or line level/hi-Z inputs using a 1/4 inch TRS phone Preamp Section plug. [. . . ] The MIDI drivers were installed when you installed your Patchmix DSP software and the MIDI ports will appear in your system control panel under "Sounds and Audio Devices". These line level outputs are designed for easy interface to powered computer speakers. The optional Sync Daughter card provides Word Clock in and out, SMPTE (LTC) in and out and an additional MIDI output for transmitting MIDI Time Code (MTC). MTC is a special rendering of SMPTE that can be transmitted over MIDI cables. [. . . ]
