• LINE IN (TRS): For connecting line-level instruments or devices.
• ഗെയിൻ നോബ്: Adjusts the input level for the corresponding channel. Turn clockwise to increase gain, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• SIG/CLIP LED: This indicator illuminates green when a signal is present and turns red when the signal is clipping (too hot). Adjust the gain knob to ensure the LED remains green, occasionally flashing amber on peaks, but avoiding constant red.

3.2. ഫാന്റം പവർ (+48V)

The ADA8200 provides global +48V phantom power for condenser microphones.

• ഗെയിൻ ലെവലുകൾ: Ensure the gain knobs for the active channels are turned up sufficiently. Check the SIG/CLIP LEDs for signal presence.
• ഇൻപുട്ട് തരം: Confirm that you are using the correct input (XLR for microphones, TRS for line-level) and that phantom power is activated if using condenser microphones.
• DAW/Software Settings: Check your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or audio interface control panel settings to ensure the ADAT inputs are enabled and routed correctly.

5.2. Sync Issues / Audio Dropouts

• മാസ്റ്റർ/സ്ലേവ് കോൺഫിഗറേഷൻ: Double-check that one device is set as the master clock and the other as the slave. Mismatched clocking is a common cause of sync issues.
