1. Introduction
Congratulations! By purchasing a Master Stereo
Display (MSD) from DK-Audio you have decided to
actually "See What You Hear”. We are certain that
your Master Stereo Display will prove an invaluable
tool in your daily work.
If you have any suggestions or points of view for
future functions or options, we welcome your com-
ments. Please write to DK-Audio at the address on
the rear page of this manual, or call
+45 44 85 02 55. You can also use the enclosed
Registration Card to send us your remarks and
observations. Your Registration Card is also the
easiest way for you to receive up-to-date informa-
tion from DK-Audio on future Master Stereo Display
products. Please also check our website at

1.1 This Manual
This manual is an addendum to the Software
User’s Manual covering all aspects of the MSD
Operating System. In this manual all model specific
information can be found. This includes mechanical
dimensions, electrical specifications, hardware
descriptions, mounting descriptions, flow-charts,
factory presets and pin-out descriptions.
• For any question regarding the operation of the
MSD unit, please refer to the Software User’s
Manual
At time of press (2002) this manual covers the
following MSD models:
MSD600C-III, MSD600C-5.1, MSD200C,
PT0600C-III, PT0600C-5.1 and the PT0200C.
All through this manual any of the supported
models will be referred to simply as the MSD.

2. The Audio Matrix
The Audio Matrix function of the MSD has become
the very heart of the unit. Almost all parameter set-
tings originate from the Matrix.
The MSD features a full 32 x 16 Audio Matrix.
Depending on the configuration of the actual MSD
model the available Inputs and Outputs can be
assigned from the Audio Matrix Menu.
Any input channel may be routed to any output,
including separate Left/Right channels of an AES-3
stream. Any function on the MSD is treated as an
Output and is assigned an input from the Audio
Matrix just like any other physical Output source.
There are therefore no restrictions to the routing of
a signal.
The different supported MSD models are
configured as follow:
MSD-Series
MSD200C MSD600C-III MSD600C-5.1
PT0200C PT0600C-III PT0600C-5.1
Interface:
Analogue Stereo
Inputs 1 1 -

Outputs 1 1 -

Audio Matrix flowcharts for all supported
models

3. External
Synchronisation and
the Sample Rate
Converter (SRC)
The MSD has been designed to run on a fixed
internal sample rate at 48 kHz. However the user
can force the MSD to synchronise to any of the
available AES-3 Inputs.
• Please refer to section 18 for a complete set of
Synchronisation flowcharts for all supported
models
Since the unit’s internal sample rate also deter-
mines the AES output sample rate you can use the
external sync feature to synchronise the AES out-
puts sample rate. For details on how to set up the
MSD for external synchronisation please see sec-
tion 8.2.4.1 “SRC Bypass and external sync” in the
software manual. It is normal that professional
audio equipment such as mixing consoles are fitted
with sample rate converters in their AES input
stage. In these cases it is not necessary to syn-
chronise the AES output signal.
When an external sync source has been selected,
the MSD will sync to this input whether a valid sync
signal is present or not. If no valid signal is detec-
ted an error warning will be displayed on the MSD.
Even though the MSD is able to lock up to AES-3
signals at 96 kHz, an external AES-3 sync signal
with a sampling rate higher than 48 kHz should not
be used, as it may cause glitches in the audio
stream.
Synchronising to a lower sample rate than 48 kHz
(like 44.1 kHz) will not be a problem. It is however
MSD/PT0600/200 - Technical Reference Manual
4
not recommended to sync to an external sync
source lower than 44.1 kHz since this will effect the
ballistics of the MSD’s meter functions.
When using the MSD with one of the DMU scales
(which are true peak scales) it is recommended that
the MSD SRC’s used are in Bypass mode. The rea-
son is that the SRC under certain situations effects
the peak value of the input signal.
In all other PPM Scales where the displayed level is
based on the energy of the signal and not the true
peak value, the SRC will not effect any measure-
ments.
