v. 1.4 Features and specifications are subject to change. Visit www.sounddevices.com for the latest documentation.
Setup Menu At Factory Default, the mixer is set to limit the output signal peak levels to +20 dBu. This
assures that the output of the 552 will not overload inputs that accept full line-level signals.
The orange LIM LEDs, located at the end of the meter scale, illuminate in various intensities to repre-
sent output limiting.
LIM and LINK
The Output Limiters can either be linked as a stereo pair (LINK) or can work as two independent
limiters (LIM). When linked, the limiters will apply the same gain reduction equally to both the Left
and Right outputs. The LINK position is recommended when recording stereo program, so that level
changes are identical for both channels. The LIM position is recommended when using the 552 Out-
puts as two separate buses.
Digital Audio Recorder
The 552 incorporates a high-quality, two-track digital audio recorder. The 552 records uncompressed
polyphonic Broadcast Wave (.WAV file extension) or compressed MP3 (.MP3 file extension) files to
a removable SD/SDHC card (not included). The audio source assigned to AES A is the source of the
recorded audio. The AES A source is selectable in the Setup Menu. See Digital Outputs for step-by-step
AES A source routing instructions.
Recording settings such as file format, bit depth, and sampling rate are set in the Setup Menu. All
record functions are controlled using the Recorder Controller. From the factory, the recorder is set to
