Choosing The Motu Firewire Core Audio Driver - MOTU Traveler User Manual

If you do not have any digital audio connections to
your Traveler (you are using the analog inputs and
outputs only), and you will not be slaving your host
software to external SMPTE time code, choose
Internal.
If you wish to slave the Traveler to the ADAT sync
Input connector, choose ADAT 9-pin. Note that
this port will only work properly as a clock source
for Mac OS X audio applications that support
sample-accurate sync (such as AudioDesk and
Digital Performer).
If you have digital audio devices connected to the
Traveler, or if you are not sure about the clock
source of your setup, be sure to read "Making sync
connections" on page 25 and "Clock Source" on
page 44.
Optical input and output
To make a Traveler optical input or output available
in your host software, 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 Main Outs, 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 your host audio
software's audio output menus.
