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)

GAIN Knob: 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 faiga.
- PURE Mode: Provides a clean, transparent, and linear ampfaʻamaumauga
- Faiga DRIVE: 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

TULAGA Knob: Filifilia le sample rate for the A/D converters (e.g., 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz).
Uati faamau: Selects the clock source (Internal, Wordclock, USB).
Fuaina: The front panel features LED meters for each channel, providing visual feedback on input levels.

7. Faʻafitauli

Leai se Malosi:
- Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the AC outlet.
- Verify that the power outlet is functional.
Leai se fa'alogo leo:
- 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.
Leo fa'aletonu:
- 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.
