Mytek Digital Stereo 96 ADC (VER.7/sep 2010) - Manual (Page 10)

Unbalanced Signal Source
Operation
Stereo96ADC can be operated with weaker consumer level
unbalanced signal sources. Follow these steps in such case.
1. Unbalanced cable used to feed the unit must have signal connected
to pin 2 of XLR, ground (shield) connected to pin 1 and 3.
2. Setup all other connections.
3. Select desired clock source (sync), either internal or external. If
external wordclock or superclock source is required for systemic
reasons, setup its mode using the DIP switch as described in "Internal
jumpers".
The wordclock source can be terminated with internal 75 Ohm resistor
inside the Mytek unit (see: "Internal jumpers"). The termination is
recommended when using long wordclock cables (above 10 ft) and
when the wordclock source is capable handling such termination. Do
not terminate if the source is not capable of high current drive or cable
is short.
4. Select sampling frequency. If wordclock/superclock is used the
sampling frequency has to correspond to external clock frequency
(can be multiple, see: "Internal jumpers")
5. Select output wordlength- 24 bit full output is recommended. 16
and 20 bit output are meant to be used when the destination (recorder
such as CDR, ADAT tape machine) limits the wordlength. 20 bit
output is dithered with flat dither. 16 bit output can either be dithered
flat (recommended for multitrack recording) or 16 bit noiseshaped
(recommended for final masters, printing to CDR or DAT machine).
The Supershaper HR (tm) used for 16 bit wordlenght reduction is a
sophisticated 9th order noise shaper with dither, similar in operation to
Pow-r #3 (tm) noise reduction algorithm (see: "Supershaper HR...")
