The rear panel provides all input and output connections. This includes XLR/TRS combo jacks for microphone/line inputs, D-Sub connectors for line inputs and outputs/sends, ADAT and AES/EBU digital outputs, Wordclock I/O, and a USB port for computer connectivity. The power inlet is located on the far left.

4. Opsætningsvejledning

4.1 Udpakning og placering

Carefully remove the PureDrive Octo from its packaging.
Place the unit in a well-ventilated area, preferably in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating.
Undgå at placere enheden i nærheden af varmekilder eller i direkte sollys.

4.2 Strømtilslutning

Sørg for, at enhedens tænd/sluk-knap er i OFF-positionen.
Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC inlet on the rear panel of the PureDrive Octo.
Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded AC outlet.

4.3 Lydforbindelser

Mikrofonindgange: Connect microphones to the XLR inputs on the rear panel (Channels 1-8).
Linjeindgange: Connect line-level sources using TRS jacks or the dedicated D-Sub connectors on the rear panel.
Digitale output: Connect the ADAT OUT ports to your audio interface or digital mixer for multi-channel digital audio. Use AES/EBU outputs for stereo digital audio.
USB-forbindelse: Connect the USB port on the rear panel to your computer for use as an audio interface. Install necessary drivers if prompted by your operating system.
Wordclock: For synchronization with other digital audio devices, connect a Wordclock cable to the WORDCLOCK IN/OUT ports.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tænd/sluk

To power on, flip the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position.
To power off, flip the power switch to the OFF position.

5.2 Channel Controls (Per Channel)

GAIN knap: Adjusts the input gain for the microphone preamplifier. Use this to set the primary signal level.
TRIM-knap: Provides fine-tuning of the output level in 1 dB increments. This allows for precise level matching and can be used to drive the signal into the DRIVE circuit.
+48V Button: Engages phantom power for condenser microphones. Ensure the microphone is connected before activating.
POLARITY Button: Inverts the phase of the input signal. Useful for correcting phase issues when using multiple microphones.
HPF Button: Activates a High Pass Filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble or proximity effect.
Z.D. (Impedance) Button: Cycles through four input impedance options. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal tonal response for your microphone.
PURE/DRIVE Button: Toggles between the PURE and DRIVE preamp tilstande.
- PURE Mode: Provides a clean, transparent, and linear amplifikation.
- DRIVE Mode: Introduces harmonic saturation and warmth. The PureDrive Octo also features an 'Asymmetric' DRIVE option for unique tonal shaping.

5.3 A/D Conversion and Digital Output Controls

RATE-knap: Vælger sample rate for the A/D converters (e.g., 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz).
UR-knap: Selects the clock source (Internal, Wordclock, USB).
Måling: The front panel features LED meters for each channel, providing visual feedback on input levels.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre enhedens yderside. Undgå slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation slots are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
Opbevaring: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a cool, dry environment, away from dust and extreme temperatures.

7. Fejlfinding

Ingen strøm:
- Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the AC outlet.
- Kontroller, at stikkontakten fungerer.
Ingen lydoutput:
- Ensure all audio cables are correctly connected to the inputs and outputs.
- Check the GAIN and TRIM settings on the relevant channels.
- Verify that the correct input source is selected on your receiving device (audio interface, mixer).
- If using digital outputs (ADAT, AES/EBU, USB), ensure sample rates and clocking are correctly synchronized between devices.
Forvrænget lyd:
- Reduce the GAIN or TRIM level to prevent clipping.
- Check the input level of your microphone or line source.
- Ensure the PURE/DRIVE mode is set as desired; DRIVE mode intentionally adds harmonic distortion.
