EMM Labs DCC2 DIGITAL CONTROL CENTER - Manual (Page 5)

DCC2 User Manual
PCM – AES/EBU: Selects PCM digital input from the XLR inputs. Sample rates up to
96kHz are supported. For sample rates of 88.2kHz and 96kHz there
are 2 configurations that are commonly used:
1) one cable for 2 channels
2) 1 cable for each channel (total of 2 cables)
If 1 cable is used it needs to be plugged into AES/EBU INPUT 1, and
if 2 cables are used both inputs 1 and 2 have to be connected. In
either case the DCC2 will automatically detect if the digital input is
running at 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz (resp. at 48kHz or 96kHz) provided
the correct base frequency is selected (44.1kHz resp. 48kHz).
PCM – COAX: Selects PCM digital input from Coax (RCA) input. Sample rates up to
96kHz are supported. Make sure to select the base frequency of
44.1kHz for 44.1kHz and 88.2kHz sample rates, or select base
frequency of 48kHz for 48kHz or 96kHz sample rates.
PCM – TOS:
Same as for PCM – COAX, but input is from optical TOSLink.
PCM – ST:
same as for PCM – COAX, but input is for optical ST glass.
Volume Control
The wheel on the front panel controls the volume on the analog pre-amp outputs. As the
wheel is turned clockwise the volume increases and the displayed numbers increase,
whereas when the wheel is turned anti-clockwise the volume decreases and the
displayed numbers decrease. The displayed numbers range from 00 (volume is set to
lowest) to 99 (volume is set to highest).
Connecting Analog Outputs
The DCC2 has 2 separate analog stereo outputs:
ANALOG LINE OUTPUT
This output bypasses the built-in pre-amplifier and volume control of the DCC2 and is
always set to full level. Be careful and do NOT connect this output to your amplifier
directly,
but rather to your separate pre-amplifier.
ANALOG PREAMP OUTPUT
This output is from the internal pre-amplifier and is controlled by the volume control. This
should be connected directly to your amplifier. However, be careful to first turn the
volume down (low number in display).
