User Guide
Both passive and active breakout panels are available in 8-channel (supporting one
Thunder Bolt card) and 16-channel (supporting two Thunder Bolt cards) versions. The front
panel controls and the rear-panel DB-25 connectors on the 16-ch version are labeled A and
B to distinguish between the supported cards.

Because a breakout panel has space for 16 XLR connectors, it is possible to share a single
breakout panel between an analog input ThunderBolt card and an analog output
ThunderBolt card.
