Re: [xl7] S/PDIF Output level

2002-11-15 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

As mentioned previously, and as many of us know, the level of the digital 
output from the e-mu modular line is low, to allow for extremes that may 
occur with regard to extreme patch resonance etc (this is my impression, 
tell me if I am wrong)

>>>Yeah, I think this was the answer we were given before. <<<

In that the level of a digital signal has direct correspondence with bit 
resolution, does that mean that the base-line low level digital signal is 
less than 16 bits - i.e. like 8-12 bits?

>>>Yep, that's my guess too.  Bummer, but at least you can normalize and 
not worry about background noise, so it could be worse I suppose. <<<

I never use the digital output - but I would like to does anyone out there 
use it?

>>>I do/did when I record the XL-7 into Cubase SX.  Unfortunately my 
digital cable no longer works, so I need to buy a new one. <<<
