4. Mwongozo wa Kuweka

4.1 Kufungua na Kuweka

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.
Epuka kuweka kitengo karibu na vyanzo vya joto au kwenye jua moja kwa moja.

Uunganisho wa Nguvu 4.2

Hakikisha swichi ya umeme ya kitengo iko katika hali IMEZIMWA.
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 Uunganisho wa Sauti

Uingizaji wa kipaza sauti: Connect microphones to the XLR inputs on the rear panel (Channels 1-8).
Ingizo la Mstari: Connect line-level sources using TRS jacks or the dedicated D-Sub connectors on the rear panel.
Matokeo ya Dijiti: 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.
Muunganisho wa 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.
Saa ya maneno: For synchronization with other digital audio devices, connect a Wordclock cable to the WORDCLOCK IN/OUT ports.

5. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

5.1 Kuwasha / Kuzima

To power on, flip the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position.
To power off, flip the power switch to the OFF position.

5.2 Channel Controls (Per Channel)

Knobo ya KUPATA: Adjusts the input gain for the microphone preamplifier. Use this to set the primary signal level.
TRIM Knob: 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.
+48V Button: Engages phantom power for condenser microphones. Ensure the microphone is connected before activating.
POLARITY Button: 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 modi.
- PURE Mode: Provides a clean, transparent, and linear ampkutuliza.
- 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

RATE Knobo: Inachagua sample rate for the A/D converters (e.g., 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz).
Kitufe cha SAA: Selects the clock source (Internal, Wordclock, USB).
Upimaji: The front panel features LED meters for each channel, providing visual feedback on input levels.

6. Matengenezo

Kusafisha: Tumia kitambaa laini na kikavu kusafisha sehemu ya nje ya kifaa. Epuka visafishaji au viyeyusho vyenye kukwaruza.
Uingizaji hewa: Hakikisha kwamba nafasi za uingizaji hewa hazizuiwi ili kuzuia joto kupita kiasi.
Hifadhi: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a cool, dry environment, away from dust and extreme temperatures.

7. Utatuzi wa shida

Hakuna Nguvu:
- Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the AC outlet.
- Thibitisha kuwa mkondo wa umeme unafanya kazi.
Hakuna Toleo la Sauti:
- Ensure all audio cables are correctly connected to the inputs and outputs.
- 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.
Sauti Iliyopotoka:
- 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.
