Steinberg Nuendo8 I/O Handbuch Seite 18

The clearly structured front panel design ensures an easy start when working with the
device for the first time. Nevertheless we recommend to study at least the chapters
'Clock Section' and 'Copy Mode', as the extensive usage of format converter and clock
options may result in some behaviour that may require further explanation.
Connect the analog inputs with the analog signal source. Change the input sensitivity
by pressing INPUT LEVEL until the input level is sufficient to avoid noisy operation. Try
to achieve an optimum input level by adjusting the source itself. Raise the input level
until the Over LED's flash at the loudest parts of the signal, then reduce the level a bit
until no more overs are detected.
The analog line inputs of the Nuendo 8 I/O can be used with +4 dBu and -10 dBV sig-
nals. They are fitted with both D-sub (for an optional XLR multicore) and 1/4" TRS
jacks. Both are internally connected, so not operational at the same time. The elec-
tronic input stage is built in a servo balanced design which handles monaural and
stereo jacks correctly. When used unbalanced it automatically corrects the gain by 6
dB.
When switched on the Nuendo 8 I/O starts in a default mode which should be suitable
for most applications:
• AD-converter in master mode (CLOCK INTERNAL)
• DA-converter in slave mode (CLOCK INPUT)
• Sample rate 44,1 kHz
• Input ADAT optical
On the DA-side you just have to choose the desired digital input by pressing DIGITAL
INPUT. A coarse correction of the analog output level can be done by pressing OUT-
PUT LEVEL.
We recommend Steinberg's ST24/96 or Nuendo 9652 digital interface cards for digital
data transfer into a PCI bus equipped computer. These cards have the highest reputa-
tion and are the ultimate solution for master and multitrack tasks.
