 TRAVELER FRONT PANEL OPERATION

PARAM
When the LCD display is in mixer mode, the 
PAR A M k nob  c yc l e s  through the mix parameters 
listed below. Use the CURSOR knob to scroll to a 
particular channel (until it flashes) and use the 
VA L U E  k n o b  t o c h ange its setting:
Mix parameters that apply across all mixes
The last three mix settings (input reference level, 
+6dB software boost, and stereo pairing) apply 
across all mixes because they have to do with the 
nature of the input itself. For example, if you have 
an input that requires a -10dB reference level, then 
you’ll want the reference level to apply to all mixes.
Working with stereo pairs
When you group a pair of inputs as a stereo pair, all 
of their mix settings become linked, and whenever 
you scroll to either channel, both channels will 
flash to indicate that they will operate as a linked 
stereo pair. Note that when a pair is first created, 
pan is set to hard left and hard right, but the 
channels can then be further modified indepen-
dently. When a pair is unlinked, the channels are 
set to pan-center.
CURSOR / VALUE
When the LCD display is in mixer mode, the 
CURSOR knob scrolls left and right over the 20 
inputs displayed in the LCD. The current input 
flashes. As a shortcut, you can push the CURSOR 
knob to toggle between the top row (analog inputs) 
and bottom row (digital inputs). The VALUE knob 
changes the current mix parameter for the 
currently flashing input. In some cases, such as 
Gain and Pan, the LCD will “zoom” to the enlarged 
horizontal fader while you adjust it with the VALUE 
knob. After you stop adjusting, the LCD will return 
to the mixer display.
STAND-ALONE OPERATION
All settings, including all mix settings and global 
settings, are saved in the Traveler’s memory, and 
they remain in effect even when the Traveler is not 
connected to a computer. This allows you to use the 
Traveler as  a stand-alone 8-bus mixer. You can 
make adjustments to any setting at any time from 
the front panel.
Mix
parameter Range Comments
Gain OFF,
-84 to 0 dB
Each channel displays a small fader. 
Push the VALUE knob to toggle 
between OFF and unity gain (0dB).
Pan -64 to +64
Zero = pan 
center
Push the VALUE knob to jump to 
pan center. Stereo pairs (explained 
below) are panned hard left/right by 
default. 
Solo “s” or 
blank
Push the VALUE knob to toggle 
between soloed (S) and not soloed 
(blank), or turn the knob to toggle.
Mute “m” or 
blank
Push the VALUE knob to toggle 
between muted (m) and unmuted 
(blank), or turn the knob to toggle.
4/10 down (+4) 
or up (-10)
This setting applies universally 
across ALL mix busses for analog 
inputs 5-8. Push the VALUE knob to 
toggle between a +4dB reference 
level (down) and a -10dB reference 
level (up). Or turn the knob to toggle.
+6db “+” or 0 This setting applies universally 
across ALL mix busses for analog 
inputs 5-8. Push the VALUE knob to 
toggle between a +6dB software 
boost (+) and no boost (0). Or turn 
the knob to toggle.
Pair “[ ]” or 
blank
This setting applies universally 
across ALL mixes. Push the VALUE 
knob to toggle a stereo input pair 
between separate mono inputs 
(blank) or a stereo pair (“[ ]”). Or 
turn the knob to toggle. When a pair 
of inputs are linked, all of their mix 
settings become linked (gain, solo, 
etc.) except for pan. When the pair is 
first created, pan is set to hard left 
and hard right, but the channels can 
then be further modified indepen-
dently. When a pair is unlinked, the 
channels are set to pan-center.
