ATTENTION: You must shut down your computer any time you wish to connect or
disconnect the FireWire 1814 from the system. Failure to do so may cause
damage to your computer’s or FireWire 1814’s FireWire ports.
Connect the FireWire 1814’s Line Outputs 1 and 2 to your amplifier, powered monitors
or mixer. For two-channel stereo operation, the default outputs are channels 1 and 2.
(You may change this in the FireWire 1814 Control Panel if you desire. You can also
connect the FireWire 1814’s four line outputs to a stand-alone mixer.
Connect your headphones to the FireWire 1814’s headphone outputs. (Use headphone
output 1 if you plan to use A/B source switching for headphone cueing.)
Connect a microphone (using XLR or TRS/TS connector) or instrument (using TRS/TS
connector only) such as an electric guitar or bass to the Mic/Inst input channels 1 and 2.
Make sure the Mic/Line switch is set to the “Mic” position. Connect your line level analog
source such as instruments or preamps, a CD deck, or turntable preamp to the FireWire
1814’s analog line inputs 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and/or 7 and 8 (inputs 1 and 2 can be used
alternately as Line Inputs).
Connect your ADAT Optical or S/PDIF optical capable device to the optical digital I/O.
