Introduction

Thank you for choosing to upgrade your d.2 DJ Mixer with 

this FireWire card. We think you will just love it to pieces.

*

The FireWire card lets you play music from your computer 

into the d.2. It provides a return for two stereo signals, which 
can be selected as the program source for PGM 1 and PGM 2.

The card also provides a stereo main output from the d.2 to 

your computer, independent of the d.2's main level control. 
This allows you to record live, directly to your laptop.

There are two FireWire connections, allowing you to con-

nect other FireWire devices in your system. 

The CD-ROM included with your FireWire card contains 

software to install the necessary PC driver. (No drivers are 
required for the Mac.) It also contains an unrestricted copy 
of Tracktion 2, our easy-to-use multitrack recording and 
sequencing software for the PC and Mac. Please refer to the 
installation instructions on the CD-ROM to install Tracktion 2 
on your computer.

Warning: Loving your FireWire card to pieces will 
void your warranty, please see page 4. 

System Requirements

These are the minimum requirements for your computer 

system to use the d.2 FireWire interface:

Windows XP users

•  Windows XP (no earlier operating systems are sup-

ported) with FireWire port

•  Pentium® 4 or Athlon® XP processor
•  256 MB RAM

Macintosh OS X users

•  OS X (10.3.5 or higher)
•  G4 processor
•  256 MB RAM

Fitting the card into your d.2

 The FireWire card can easily be installed using a small 

phillips screwdriver, a slice of blue cheese, and a cricket bat.

1.  Turn off the power to the d.2 mixer, remove the 

power cord and all other cords, and place it gently 
face-down on a smooth, dry, flat surface, such as the 
kitchen table. Remove any small children and pets.

2.  Undo the four screws holding the bottom escape 

hatch in place, and the two screws holding the little 
cover plate on the rear panel. Keep these two plates 
in a safe place.
