4. Gid Enstalasyon

4.1 Debalaj ak plasman

Carefully remove the PureDrive Octo from its packaging.
Place the unit in a well-ventilated area, preferably in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating.
Evite mete aparèy la toupre sous chalè oswa anba limyè solèy dirèk.

4.2 Koneksyon pouvwa

Asire w ke switch pouvwa aparèy la nan pozisyon OFF.
Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC inlet on the rear panel of the PureDrive Octo.
Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded AC outlet.

4.3 Koneksyon Audio

Mikwo Entran: Connect microphones to the XLR inputs on the rear panel (Channels 1-8).
Antre liy: Connect line-level sources using TRS jacks or the dedicated D-Sub connectors on the rear panel.
Pwodwi dijital: Connect the ADAT OUT ports to your audio interface or digital mixer for multi-channel digital audio. Use AES/EBU outputs for stereo digital audio.
Koneksyon USB: Connect the USB port on the rear panel to your computer for use as an audio interface. Install necessary drivers if prompted by your operating system.
Wordclock: For synchronization with other digital audio devices, connect a Wordclock cable to the WORDCLOCK IN/OUT ports.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon

5.1 Limen/Etenyen

To power on, flip the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position.
Pou etenn li, vire switch pouvwa a nan pozisyon OFF.

5.2 Channel Controls (Per Channel)

Bouton GAIN: Adjusts the input gain for the microphone preamplifier. Use this to set the primary signal level.
Bouton TRIM: Provides fine-tuning of the output level in 1 dB increments. This allows for precise level matching and can be used to drive the signal into the DRIVE circuit.
Bouton +48V: Engages phantom power for condenser microphones. Ensure the microphone is connected before activating.
POLARITY Button: Inverts the phase of the input signal. Useful for correcting phase issues when using multiple microphones.
HPF Button: Activates a High Pass Filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble or proximity effect.
Z.D. (Impedance) Button: Cycles through four input impedance options. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal tonal response for your microphone.
PURE/DRIVE Button: Toggles between the PURE and DRIVE preamp mòd.
- PURE Mode: Provides a clean, transparent, and linear amplifikasyon.
- Mòd KONDUI: Introduces harmonic saturation and warmth. The PureDrive Octo also features an 'Asymmetric' DRIVE option for unique tonal shaping.

5.3 A/D Conversion and Digital Output Controls

Bouton RAT: Chwazi s laample rate for the A/D converters (e.g., 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz).
Bouton REVÈY: Selects the clock source (Internal, Wordclock, USB).
Mezi: The front panel features LED meters for each channel, providing visual feedback on input levels.

6. Antretyen

Netwayaj: Sèvi ak yon twal mou epi sèk pou netwaye deyò aparèy la. Evite pwodui netwayaj abrazif oswa solvan.
Vantilasyon: Asire w ke fant vantilasyon yo pa bouche pou anpeche surchof.
Depo: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a cool, dry environment, away from dust and extreme temperatures.

NAN. Depanaj

Pa gen pouvwa:
- Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the AC outlet.
- Verifye ke priz kouran an fonksyone.
Pa gen Sòti odyo:
- Ensure all audio cables are correctly connected to the inputs and outputs.
- Check the GAIN and TRIM settings on the relevant channels.
- Verify that the correct input source is selected on your receiving device (audio interface, mixer).
- If using digital outputs (ADAT, AES/EBU, USB), ensure sample rates and clocking are correctly synchronized between devices.
Odyo defòme:
- Reduce the GAIN or TRIM level to prevent clipping.
- Check the input level of your microphone or line source.
- Ensure the PURE/DRIVE mode is set as desired; DRIVE mode intentionally adds harmonic distortion.
