Steinberg NUENDO 8 I/O 96k 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. You can
find more information in chapter 7 (Clock section) and in the Copy Mode section of
chapter 8.
Connect the TRS-jacks (or the D-sub connector) 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 source's output level until the Over LED's flash at the loudest parts of the sig-
nal, then reduce the level a bit until no more overs are detected.
The analog line inputs of the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k can be used with +4 dBu and -10 dBV
signals. 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 electronic
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 for the first time, the Nuendo 8 I/O 96k starts in a default mode
which should be suitable for most applications:
• A/D-converter in master mode (CLOCK INTERNAL)
• D/A-converter in slave mode (CLOCK INPUT)
• Sample rate 44.1 kHz
• Input ADAT optical
On the D/A-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.
The Nuendo 8 I/O 96k stores all current settings and automatically activates them
when the device is turned on.
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.
