Native Instruments TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 Manual page 26

• (4) Ports A, B, C, and D: A port on the TA10 consists of an input channel and an output
channel. The ports A through D connect up to four different input devices (line and
phono), and they can output audio to up to four different output devices / mixer chan-
nels. The sockets are unbalanced connectors, and they are used for input devices such
as a turntable, synth, tapedeck, CD player, or any other device or instrument without
the need for phantom powering. Each input port (A, B, C, and D) can process time-
code information coming from a timecode medium. In a generic digital DJing scenario,
a turntable is connected to the IN channel of a port, and data coming from timecode
vinyl is sent to the computer software for controlling audio files. The resulting audio
signal will be sent to the same port's output channel, and further on to a mixer channel
or another desired output device. The ports A through D also provide a Direct Thru
function (THRU) allowing the sending of a signal from a port's input channel directly
to the port's output channel, therein bypassing the internal signal processing which is
useful for analog DJing.
Please note: In order for timecode vinyl/CDs to work with the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10, the
% !
ports have to be configured correctly! For further instructions on configuring the port
settings, please read chapter 6.1.2 / 6.2.1.
