You can connect the Traveler to an 800Mbit
"FireWire B" port using a 9-pin to 6-pin FireWire B
cable (not shown). However, the Traveler will still
operate at its specified 400Mbit (FireWire A) data
rate.
3 Plug the other end of the FireWire cable into the
Traveler I/O as shown below in Figure 3-1.

Here are a few things you should keep in mind as
you are making these connections to other devices.
Mic/guitar/instrument inputs
Connect a microphone, guitar or other similar
instrument to the front-panel inputs, as
recommended in the table below. If your
microphone requires phantom power, move the
48V phantom power switch on the front panel to
the right (enabled). Use the trim knobs on the front
panel to adjust the input level as needed for each
input. The LCD provides feedback for the current
trim setting. The Traveler's input trims are digital
controlled, so they allow you to make fine-tuned
adjustments in approximately 1dB increments. Use
the four input level meters on the front panel
(labeled ANALOG 1-4) to calibrate the level. These
meters register for both the XLR and TRS input.
