KNOBS, KEYS, AND JACKS
If this is your first time learning the DSP7000, don’t be put off by some of the rather in-depth descriptions
that will follow; they exist for your future reference (
once you understand the DSP7000 and need a quick bit of information
).
For now, concentrate on what the various knobs and jacks are
called
. Their use will be explained progres-
sively throughout the rest of this manual.
The Front Panel
A)
Level Meters
These measure the signals at the analog inputs, the digital inputs, the input and out-
put of the processor, the analog outputs, and the digital outputs. The highest LED
indicates a clipped signal, and every LED below that falls off at -3dB per decrement,
with the exception of the bottom one, which indicates the presence of any signal.

See
The Level Meters
on page 27.
B)
System sampling rate and external sync indicator.
The top four LEDs display the system sampling rate of the DSP7000:
96
kHz,
88.2
kHz,
48
kHz, or
44.1
kHz. When solidly lit, they indicate that the system sampling
rate is exact (
+/- 0.05%
). When blinking, they indicate that the system sampling rate is
between one of the fixed rates (
the LED corresponding to the nearest sampling rate blinks
). The bot-
tom LED,
EXT
, reflects the current external sync status (
it blinks if there’s a problem
).
