Analog to Digital Converter
Line Level Adjust
There is typically a 14dB difference between the 0dB reference levels
in analog and digital equipment. The line level adjust on the
FIREstation allows the user to adjust the 0dB reference to match that
of an external analog device such as a preamp or console. A tweaker
or small Phillips screwdriver can be used to adjust this level. Turn the
tweaker clockwise to raise the 0dB level and counter-clockwise to
lower the level.
For example: If you were running a Presonus M80 into your
FIREstation, you may notice that you could go into the red on the
M80’s meters while the recording software would maintain a relatively
low recording level. You could adjust the FIREstation converters so
that the software would have the same meter reading as the M80.
6.3 Heat Vent
The FIREstation has three heat vents. The vent on the top of the unit
is directly over the power transformer. It is strongly recommended
that there be at least one rack space open above the unit for proper
cooling. Anything placed directly on top of any of the three vents could
cause the unit to overheat and malfunction.
