INSTALLING THE TRAVELER-MK3 HARDWARE
19
panel (Figure 3-2) to adjust the input level as
needed for each input. The LCD provides visual
feedback as you turn the trim knob (Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3: The LCD gives you feedback as you turn the TRIM knobs for
the four mic/guitar inputs.
The Traveler-mk3’s input trims are digitally
controlled, so they allow you to make fine-tuned
adjustments in 1dB increments. Use the four input
level meters on the front panel (labeled ANALOG
1-4) to calibrate the level. You can also use a long-
throw horizontal meter in the LCD. See “Meters
knob” on page 44. You can also adjust trim in the
MOTU CueMix FX software. See “Input trim” on
page 83.
20 dB pad
If the input signal is still too hot with the trim
turned all the way down, engage the 20dB pad by
pushing the Trim rotary encoder (Figure 3-2). The
LCD provides feedback for the current pad setting.
Quarter-inch analog
The quarter-inch analog inputs (5-8) and outputs
(1-8) shown in Figure 3-4 are balanced (TRS)
connectors that can also accept an unbalanced
plug.
The quarter-inch outputs are calibrated to produce
a +4 dBu line level output signal.
Quarter-inch analog input trims
The quarter-inch inputs are calibrated to
accommodate either +4 dBu or -10 dBV signals
and are equipped with digital trims that provide up
to +12 dB of boost. You can use either the front
panel LCD or the included CueMix FX software to
adjust both the reference level and the input trim.
To do so using CueMix FX, see “Pad and reference
level” on page 86 and “Input trim” on page 83. To
adjust the trims using the front panel LCD:
1 Push the CHANNEL knob repeatedly until you
see “I:” (which stands for Input) in the CHANNEL
section of the LCD (Figure 3-5).
2 Turn the CHANNEL KNOB until you see the
desired analog input or input pair. For example,
analog inputs 1-2 appear as “I:An 1-2”
(Figure 3-5), which means Input analog 1-2.
3 From the factory, TRS analog inputs are
grouped in stereo pairs (5-6 and 7-8) If you need to
split a pair to deal with it as two individual mono
inputs, turn the PARAMETER knob until you see
PAIR in the parameter section of the LCD
(Figure 3-5). Turn the VALUE knob to choose
MONO. Then turn the CHANNEL knob again to
select the desired input you are adjusting.
