Hardware Connections
Connecting Fast Track Duo to a
Computer
Once you have installed the driver (Windows
only), connect Fast Track Duo to any available
USB port on your computer. Fast Track Duo is
powered over the USB bus from your computer.
Connecting Fast Track Duo to an
iPad
Connect your iPad to the Tablet port on the back
panel of Fast Track Duo.
When using Fast Track Duo with an iPad, you will
need to power Fast Track Duo using the USB
power adapter that was included with your iPad (or
with a USB power adapter purchased separately).
Connecting a Microphone
Connect a microphone to either input on the front
panel of Fast Track Duo using a standard XLR
microphone cable. If you are connecting a micro-
phone that requires phantom power, be sure to
enable the 48V switch on the back panel of Fast
Track Duo.
Connecting an Instrument
Connect an instrument (such as an electric guitar or
bass) to either input on the front panel using a stan-
dard 1/4-inch instrument cable. For line-level
sources, such as a synthesizer or DJ mixer, connect
the cables to the rear 1/4-inch inputs.
Connecting Headphones
Connect stereo headphones to the 1/4-inch TRS
Headphone output on the front panel.
Connecting Speakers
Connect the Line Output jacks on the back panel of
Fast Track Duo to the inputs of a mixer, stereo
power amplifier, or powered studio monitors using
1/4-inch TRS cables.
Fast Track Duo supports USB 1.1 or higher.
However, on computers running Windows 7,
be sure to connect Fast Track Duo to a USB
2 port. USB 3 is not currently supported with
Fast Track Duo on Windows 7.
When connecting speakers, make sure that
the speakers are powered off. Turn your
speakers on only after you have connected
Fast Track Duo to a host computer or iPad
and Fast Track Duo is fully powered on.
