Power Supply Connector
– Connect the 12VDC 1A power supply here when
using the FireWire Audiophile with a four-pin FireWire connection. Use only the
power supply provided with the unit or a power supply of an equivalent value.

FireWire Connectors
– Dual FireWire (IEEE-1394) ports allow you to connect
one to your computer and one to an external device. We recommend connecting
only self-powered devices to these inputs. Bus-powered devices may affect your
audio performance.
NOTE:
The FireWire Audiophile provides two 6-pin FireWire ports for your convenience. One
port is used for connection to the host computer. The second port allows other peripheral
devices to connect to the host through the FireWire Audiophile. The FireWire Audiophile can
pass FireWire bus power through this secondary port, however it will not source power to other
devices attached to this port.

send individual or grouped channels to a mixing console.
