Monitoring Latency” (page 65) for complete 
details.
Optical input and output
To ma ke a  Trave le r optical input or output available 
in Sonar, choose the appropriate format (ADAT 
optical or TOSLink) from the optical input and/or 
output menu. If you won’t be using the optical 
connectors, turn them off.
Phones
This Traveler setting lets you choose what you’ll 
hear from the headphone jack. For example, if you 
choose Analog 1-2, the headphones will duplicate 
the main outs. Or you can choose any other output 
pair. If you choose Phones, this setting makes the 
headphone jack serve as its own independent 
output pair. As a result, you’ll see Phones 1-2 as an 
additional audio destination in Sonar’s audio 
output menus.
