5. Timecode quality
Here the timecode's signal quality is displayed in percentages. Fluctuations or a
percentage that is too low could be caused by dirty or worn out needles. Ideally
the value should be between 90 – 100%.
6. Adjust gain
Here the decibel value of the input signal for the left and right side can be
adjusted. The virutal LED chain serves as modulation display. This value should
only be changed manually when trying to solve a problem. In the easy setup the
ideal gain value will be configured automatically for you.
7. Direct phono input
Here you can define whether a turntable has been directly connected to the
computer. When using the Spin! interface (line output) a "No" must be displayed
here.
8. 45 RPM
Here you can determine whether the timecode records should be played at 45
RPM (Rounds Per Minute). Default setting and usual is 33 RPM.
9. Left/right inverse
When using certain needles or when having calibrating problems it could be that
the left and right side have been mixed up. For the software sector this can be
re-adjusted via this option.
10. Phase inverse
Via this function you can invert the phase. Some cartridges, for example the
Shure M44-7 or certain CD players need this phase inversion in order to run
without any problems.
11. Timecode start delay
Here you can determine the starting point of your timecode record. As usually
the first third of the record is likely to be worn out first it is possible to offset the
starting point to a desired position. To do so place the needle on the desired
starting point and push "Save Position". The value is displayed in milliseconds.
12. Noise Level/Noise Filter
These two values are only intended for optimisation and for solving problems.
Due to easy setup these values have already been configured.
• Noise Filter:
When experiencing grounding problems or something similar you can
increase the noise filter to 150 for example in order to improve the input
signal. The louder the noise the higher the frequency should be raised.
ATTENTION!
The timecode's precision could decrease if the noise filter is set too high.
• Noise Level:
Here you can adjust the noise level in decibel. For a better sensitivity the
value should be increased. Default setting is 40 dB.
13. Calibration Display
Here the timecode signal is displayed optically. Ideally the signal should look like
a sinus curve.
If the signal is distorted (square wave) you should check your needles or adjust
the settings as described above.
