4. Guia de configuração

4.1 Desembalagem e Colocação

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 colocar o aparelho perto de fontes de calor ou sob luz solar direta.

4.2 Conexão de Energia

Certifique-se de que o interruptor de alimentação da unidade esteja na posição DESLIGADO.
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 Conexões de Áudio

Entradas de microfone: Connect microphones to the XLR inputs on the rear panel (Channels 1-8).
Entradas de linha: Connect line-level sources using TRS jacks or the dedicated D-Sub connectors on the rear panel.
Saídas Digitais: 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.
Conexão 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.
Relógio de palavras: For synchronization with other digital audio devices, connect a Wordclock cable to the WORDCLOCK IN/OUT ports.

5. Instruções de operação

5.1 Ligar/Desligar

To power on, flip the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position.
Para desligar, coloque o interruptor de energia na posição DESLIGADO.

5.2 Channel Controls (Per Channel)

Botão de GANHO: Adjusts the input gain for the microphone preamplifier. Use this to set the primary signal level.
Botão 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.
Botão +48V: Engages phantom power for condenser microphones. Ensure the microphone is connected before activating.
Botão POLARIDADE: 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 modos.
- PURE Mode: Provides a clean, transparent, and linear amplificação.
- DRIVE Mode: 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

Botão RATE: Seleciona o sample rate for the A/D converters (e.g., 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz).
Botão RELÓGIO: Selects the clock source (Internal, Wordclock, USB).
Medição: The front panel features LED meters for each channel, providing visual feedback on input levels.

6. Manutenção

Limpeza: Use um pano macio e seco para limpar a parte externa da unidade. Evite produtos de limpeza abrasivos ou solventes.
Ventilação: Certifique-se de que as aberturas de ventilação não estejam obstruídas para evitar o superaquecimento.
Armazenar: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a cool, dry environment, away from dust and extreme temperatures.

7. Solução De Problemas

Sem energia:
- Verifique se o cabo de alimentação está firmemente conectado tanto à unidade quanto à tomada CA.
- Verifique se a tomada elétrica está funcionando.
Sem saída de áudio:
- Certifique-se de que todos os cabos de áudio estejam conectados corretamente às entradas e saídas.
- 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.
Áudio distorcido:
- 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.
