ON/OFF (dithering on/off)
Turn dithering on/off for the DIGITAL STEREO
OUT jack (DIGITAL OUT) or the output chan-
nels of the OPTION I/O slots (OPTION OUT
SLOT).
Tip!
• Dithering is a process by which a small
amount of noise is added to the signal in
order to make the sound smoother, prevent-
ing the obtrusive sound that can occur if bits
are discarded when digital audio data is
transmitted from a high-resolution system to
a lower resolution system (for example when
copying from a 24 bit system to a 16 bit sys-
tem).
• For digital I/O cards, dithering is switched
on/off by pairs of adjacent odd-numbered
even-numbered channels (channels 1/2, 3/4,
...).
B
WORD LENGTH (BIT)
Select the word length (number of bits) for the
signals that are output to the DIGITAL STEREO
OUT jack (DIGITAL OUT) or to digital I/O cards
installed in the OPTION I/O slots (OPTION
OUT SLOT). Set this to the word length of the
destination device.
