Tool Bar The Tool Bar is always visible at the top of the Primary window. It provides the ability to show/hide the System Sidebar, Device Sidebar, Essentials window, Remote window and Hover-Help window. It also has buttons for Clear Meters, Talkback and Mute All outputs.
1. System Sidebar Button 2. Device Sidebar Button 3. Essentials Button 4. Remote Button 5. Clear Meters Button 6. Talkback Button 7. Mute All Button 8. Hover Help Button System Sidebar Provides System-wide settings that apply to your recording system as a whole.
1. System Status Display - This displays the status of the connected hardware. ●
- System is ready: Hardware is connected and recognized, and the digital clock is locked to the Clock Source. ●
- System not ready. Either the hardware is not connected, or the system is not locked to the Clock Source.
2. Master Device - When two Element interfaces are connected, select one as the Master Device. The Master Device acts as the clock master, is listed first in your DAW’s hardware I/O assignment, and includes Output Format functionality on the Main outputs.
3.
- Selects the system clock source for Element. The following sources may be selected: ●
: Element is clocked from its internal crystal ●
: Element is clocked from an external word clock signal connected to the rear panel BNC input ●
: Element is clocked from a digital audio input.
4. Sample Rate - Selects Element’s sample rate. In some cases this setting may be overridden by software running on the computer (i.e. When a DAW session project is open).
5. Peak Hold - Sets the time that peak indications are held on the level meters. 6.
- Sets the time that over indicators are held on the level meters. 7. Talkback Source - Select the source of the Talkback Signal. If your Mac is equipped with a Built-in Mic, select Built-in Mic as the source.
- Set the Playback channel destination for the Talkback signal. When using the low latency mixer, note that the Talkback signal is routed through the selected Playback mixer channel. 9.
- The audio system may be configured so that the Mac keyboard volume controls set the output level of Element’s speaker or headphone outputs.

The Device Sidebar provides settings that are specific to the Element interface connected to the Mac.
1. Device ID - Identifies the hardware connected to the Mac system. ● Clicking this button causes the displayed hardware to flash it’s status light for three seconds. 2.
- Changes the output to suit what is being connected to the XLR Main output jacks: ●
- Use this setting when connecting speakers to the Main XLR hardware outputs ●
- Use this setting when connecting a mixer or other device with its own volume control to the Main XLR hardware outputs 3.
- Selects the line-level reference for the XLR Main output jacks: ● Choose +4dBu when connecting to “pro” gear with inputs at a +4dBu nominal level. ● Choose -10dBV when connecting to “semi-pro”, hi-fi, or musical instrument gear with inputs at a -10dBV nominal level.
4.
and Out Format - Sets the digital audio protocol for the optical connectors. Match the optical format to that of the connecting device: ●
: The two-channel SPDIF audio format is transmitted or received through the selected port’s In or Out connections. This format is capable of utilizing a maximum sample rate of 96kHz. ●
: The multi-channel ADAT or SMUX format is transmitted or received through the selected ports. Capable of 8 channels of digital I/O at sample rates 44.1kHz - 48kHz, and 4 channels of digital I/O at sample rates 88.2kHz - 96kHz. - *On Element 88, setting the sample rate to 88.2kHz or 96kHz activates the second set of optical I/O. This provides 4 more channels for a total of 8 channels of digital I/O.
5. Analog In-Optical Out - Enable direct routing from Analog inputs to Optical outputs. When checked, all analog inputs are passed individually to the Optical outputs. - On Element 24, signal only appears on ADAT output 1-2. - On Element 46, signal only appears on ADAT output 1-4. - On Element 88, signal appears on all ADAT output channels. Note: When Optical Out Format is set to SPDIF, only inputs 1-2 are transmitted to the optical output 1-2.
When multiple Element Devices are in use, the Device Sidebar changes to show the Output Format and Output Level of both devices, while reflecting the loss of the Optical options:
