Installation und Anschluß
The ‘ART’ should be placed onto a high quality rack or stable table.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Do not place the ‘ART’ close range to
loudspeakers or at a corner of the room because in this places the maxi-
mum sound energy is to be found.
Audionet ‘ART’ has to be placed horizontal for achieving the optimal
sound results. Please check this using a spirit-level.
Use the included power cord to connect the power socket to your wall
socket. As being a CLASS I device the ‘ART’ needs to be earthed.
Internally the ‘ART’ has separate power supplies for the digital and the
analog section each using two 50VA toroid transformers with several
voltage stabilisers and fast discrete voltage regulators for a clean power
supply of the transport unit and the D/A conversion unit.
The analog outputs can be found at the back panel of the ‘ART’. They
provide the music in analog format.
Connect your ‘ART’ to a pre or main amplifier using high quality cinch
connections.
The digital to analog conversion unit is equipped with a digital signal
processor (DSP) which is used for oversampling filter calculations. You
have the choice between two distinguished digital filters. Use the switch
called ‘digital filter’ at the back panel.
With the switch being in position ‘
Audionet
’ a digital filter will be cal-
culated with short rush in time and long decaying. This has the effect of a
short transient time though achieving an excellent amplitude and phase
linearity up to 20kHz.
While in position ‘
Lagrange
’ the impulse response of the digital filter is
symmetrically. Transient and decay time are both very short leading to a
frequency response with a slight amplitude degrading above 16kHz.
