ABOUT THE TRAVELER
10
20 inputs and 22 outputs
All Traveler inputs and outputs can be used simul-
taneously, for a total of 20 inputs and 22 outputs:
All inputs and outputs are discrete and can be
active simultaneously.
The ADAT optical ports provide 4 channels of I/O
at 88.2 or 96kHz. They can also be independently
configured as stereo TOSLink SPDIF at any
supported sample rate (up to 96kHz).
All digital I/O is disabled for 192kHz operation.
The headphone outputs can operate as an
independent output pair, or they can mirror any
other Traveler output pair, such as the main outs.
Mic/instrument inputs
The four mic/instrument inputs are equipped with
preamps and Neutrik™ “combo” XLR/TRS jacks,
which accept low-Z XLR microphone inputs or
high-Z quarter-inch guitar/instruments inputs.
The total gain range for these preamps, including
the 20dB pad, is 73dB, allowing you to connect
anything from guitars and microphones to +4dB
or –10dB line level signals. Preamp gain and pad
can be controlled from the front panel digital
rotary encoders/switches or the included CueMix
Console™ software.
Analog
All four quarter-inch analog inputs are equipped
with 24-bit 192kHz, 64x oversampling A/D
converters. All eight analog outputs have 24-bit
128x oversampling D/A converters. All audio is
carried to the computer in a 24-bit data stream. All
eight analog outputs and four quarter-inch inputs
are on balanced TRS +4dB quarter-inch jacks. All
of these jacks can also accept unbalanced plugs.
The quarter-inch analog inputs can be switched in
pairs between a +4 and -10dB reference level. An
additional 6dB of software boost can be applied to
each channel individually via the CueMix Console
software application or via the front panel LCD
display.
Optical
The Traveler optical jacks support two digital audio
formats: ADAT and S/PDIF. The ADAT optical
format provides eight channels of 24-bit digital
audio at either 44.1 or 48 kHz, and four channels at
88.2 or 96kHz. The optical S/PDIF format (often
referred to as
TOSLink ), supplies stereo S/PDIF
input or output. The optical jacks are disabled at
the 4x sample rates (176.4 and 192kHz).
AES/EBU
The Traveler rear panel provides a standard AES/
EBU digital input and output that supports digital
I/O at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz. The AES/EBU
jacks are disabled at the 4x sample rates (176.4 and
192kHz).
S/PDIF
The Traveler rear panel provides S/PDIF input and
output in two different formats: RCA “coax” and
optical “TOSLink”. The RCA jacks are dedicated to
the S/PDIF format. The TOSLink jacks can be used
either for either TOSLink or ADAT optical. The
optical input /output jacks can operate indepen-
dently. For example, the optical input can be set to
