Main Index .: Platinum Range .: TwinTrak Pro .: I cannot hear the DAC signal with the 'digital insert' button switched out on my TwinTrak Pro. What is wrong?

I cannot hear the DAC signal with the 'digital insert' button switched out on my TwinTrak Pro. What is wrong?

If the digital insert button is pressed in on the TwinTrak Pro then the signal from the DAC is routed to the channel line inputs. If the digital insert button is pressed out then the DAC signal is routed to the inners of the monitor in jacks. If you have jacks plugged into the monitor ins then this routing is broken so remove anything you have connected to the monitor in sockets if you wish to monitor the DAC signal.

If you still cannot hear the DAC signal then ensure the latency-free monitoring section controls are set correctly. Make sure the 'headphones mix' knob is set to 12 o'clock to get an even balance between the channel and DAC inputs and then adjust from there as necessary to get a good mix.

article I can hear hum when using a dynamic mic with the TwinTrak Pro. It gets louder when I engage the 'air' switch. Is something wrong?
Unfortunately this is inevitable - dynamic mics can be good at inducing hum and the inductor circuit activated by the 'air' switch will only make it more audible. Setting the impedance to maximum...

article I have my ISA card synced internally but the receiving device looses sync resulting in the signal cutting out/digital distortion. What is wrong?
Check that the receiving device is set to sync to the input to which the 428 is connected and the sample frequency and bit depth settings are the same for both the receiving device and on the ISA...

article I am confused by what the buttons do on my Platinum ADC card (Penta, Trak Master, VoiceMaster Pro, TwinTrak Pro, TrakMaster Pro). What do I need to press in?
These buttons select the sample frequency. The button on the left swaps between 44.1 and 48 KHz. When the button on the right is pressed in it multiplies the sample frequency selected by two...

article I have connected my VoiceMaster Pro via S/PDIF to my sound card but am only receiving signal on the left channel. What is wrong?
There is nothing wrong here. The VoiceMaster Pro is a mono unit i.e. it has one channel only. SPDIF is a stereo digital audio format i.e. it has two channels (left and right). The signal from...

article I have connected my unit via S/PDIF but can only hear digital noise from the SPDIF input on my receiving device. What can I do?
This is most likely to be a sync problem so the first thing to check is that the sample frequency and bit depth are set to the same for the Platinum ADC card and for the receiving device. The...
