SynchroLock LED does not illuminate:
This indicates that the SynchroLock clocking system cannot lock to the selected clock source. Check
the following:
• Make sure that the correct sample clock source has been selected from the SYNC SOURCE
section of the front panel
• Make sure that the clock source is turned on and has been set to operate from its internal
clock.
• Verify that the cables connecting the clock source to the Aurora are the correct type, are free
from defects, and are securely connected.
• See if SynchroLock has been disabled from the remote control software, if it is being used.
After correcting the problem, page through Aurora’s sync sources until you return to the original
selection. This will re-engage the SynchroLock clocking system.
Output is too loud for my monitoring equipment:
Is your monitoring destination a +4dBu or –10dBV line-level device? Most professional equipment
uses +4dBu as the nominal level, and most consumer equipment uses –10dBV as the nominal level.
From the Aurora front panel or external control software, you can establish the appropriate input and
output trim levels for your equipment. At the –10dBV setting, output levels will decrease by 12.2dB.
In addition, output levels for the Aurora can be managed from the remote control software. Since level
attenuation with the Aurora’s internal mixer occurs in the digital domain, it is ideal to keep the output
levels at maximum and adjust for a comfortable listening level from your monitoring destination (i.e.
mixer, power amp, etc.) to preserve the optimum signal quality.
Note: With the VT model of the Aurora, the trim levels are set with pots on the Aurora mainboard, and
not with the front panel TRIM button.
The selected Sync Source is flashing, and the INT LED is illuminated:
If a Sync Source is chosen where a valid clock signal is not detected, then the Aurora will revert to
Internal until a valid signal is present for the chosen Sync Source. To correct:
• Verify that the clock source is powered up.
• Verify that connecting cables are securely attached.
• Verify that the clock source has been set to operate off of its internal clock.
The Sync Source LED is flashing alternately between INT and the selected Sync Source.
This condition generally indicates that the device connected to the Sync Source selected has been set to
slave to the Aurora. Since both devices are operating as a clock slave, the Aurora will search
unsuccessfully for a signal to lock to. Correct by setting either the Aurora or the connected device to
Internal.
I’m only getting half as many channels of conversion as expected, and channels are not routed as
I would expect.
Check the status of the AES MODE parameter on the Aurora front panel (to view: put the Aurora in
Dual Wire Select mode by pressing the TRIM/AES MODE button while AC power is applied. Then
press the METER button so
DIGITAL is selected). If the connected device is operating in AES/EBU
single-wire mode, the Aurora should also be set to single wire mode. Click the AES MODE selection
button until the LEDs for DUAL WIRE IN and DUAL WIRE OUT are both off.
