Topic: Fireface 400 Manual glitches....

On the Fireface 400 manual, version 1.5:

Page 89,

"Microphone 1-2, rear"

Page 91,

"36.7 General

? Included power supply: Internal switching PSU, 100 - 240 V AC, 2 A, 24 Watts                                     <- 1
? Typical power consumption: 13 Watts
? Current at 12 Volt operating voltage: 910 mA (11 Watts)
? Dimensions including rack ears (WxHxD): 265 x 44 x 165 mm (10.5" x 1.73" x 6.5]")
? Dimensions without rack ears/handles (WxHxD): 218 x 44 x 55 mm (8.6" x 1.73" x 6.1")
? Weight: 1.5 kg ( 3.3 lbs)
? Temperature range: +5? up to +50? Celsius (41? F up to 122?F)
? Relative humidity: < 75%, non condensing
? Included power supply: Internal switching PSU, 100 - 240 V AC, 2 A, 24 Watts"                     <- 2

Someone might start searching Mic inputs on the rear and claim two power supply units... ; )


Cheers.

Re: Fireface 400 Manual glitches....

Still missed the correct depth size correction. I marked only with bold so it slipped you aside. Sorry.

? Dimensions including rack ears (WxHxD): 265 x 44 x 165 mm (10.5" x 1.73" x 6.5]")
? Dimensions without rack ears/handles (WxHxD): 218 x 44 x 55 mm (8.6" x 1.73" x 6.1")

It's 155 mm, not 55 mm right?

Cheers.

Re: Fireface 400 Manual glitches....

Here some more for the next time.
sorry if I didn't catch them all in one time:

Page 22;

11.4 Limit Bandwidth

Available Settings
All channels   (default) activates all 18 input and output channels.
Analog + SPDIF  activates all 10 analog channels plus SPDIF.
Analog 1-8  activates only the first eight analog channels.
(The Analog + SP + ADAT 1 - 4 needs to be inserted here, right?)

Page 95;


Limit Bandwidth - 48 kHz (18) - 96 kHz (14) - 192 kHz (10) - FW-Kkan?le


3 Firefaces at 96 kHz can't are not reliable at full channel count (3 x 14 equals 3 x 28 = 84
channels per direction). The Settings dialog might show errors, audio might distort.


To not exceed a maximum of 80 channels with 3 Firefaces at 96 kHz, a setting like Ana-
log+SPDIF is recommended to be used on at least one Fireface.

Re: Fireface 400 Manual glitches....

Ah... Nice... Slipped me that one :-)

That "To not" start of sentence is a bit strange... Is it correct? It makes half-sence...

I don't think it's incorrect, maybe "In order to not..." is a bit more elegant.

Re: Fireface 400 Manual glitches....

That's up to you guys. I'm just reporting. If you say that must be like that, who am I to disagree?

That one of the 10 analog outs passed by me like a rocket... damn...

Re: Fireface 400 Manual glitches....

After reading it another time...

Here some more corrections:

Page 17 on the manual:

Limit Bandwidth

Analog + SPDIF activates all 10 analog channels plus SPDIF.
Analog 1-8 activates only the first eight analog channels.

Phones Level

Defines the reference level for the rear analog outputs 7/8.
