Traveler Overview

The Traveler is everything you need to turn your computer into a mobile 24-bit, 192kHz digital audio workstation. Powered by your computer’s FireWire bus, the Traveler gives you a complete, battery-operated studio wherever your recording projects take you.

The Traveler provides eight channels of pristine 192kHz analog
recording and playback, combined with all of the digital I/O you need:
ADAT optical, AES/EBU and S/PDIF (both TOSLink and RCA). Expand your
system by connecting additional Traveler, 828 or 896 FireWire audio
interfaces.

Precision Trim? and on-board mixing

The Traveler’s four microphone/instrument pre-amps are equipped with
individual 48V phantom power switches and digital Precision Trim?
controls, conveniently adjusted from the front panel or the included
CueMix Console? software. No mixer is required, thanks to CueMix DSP?,
the Traveler’s latency-free, 8-bus digital mixer. Connect all of your
studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum
machines and even effects processors. Then monitor all of these live
inputs via the Traveler’s main outs, headphone jack and/or any other
output ? with no latency and no processor drain on your computer. You
can even create separate monitor mixes for the main outs, headphones
and other outputs. Control everything from the CueMix Console? software
or directly from the Traveler’s front-panel.

Bus power and extended battery operation

Time to hit the road? The Traveler slides easily into your backpack
or briefcase and fits neatly beneath your laptop. Record in the most
remote locations with the complete freedom of battery power. You can
even use the Traveler as a stand-alone mixer. Tweak your mix on the
spot with the Traveler’s backlit LCD and front-panel controls.

Ideal for studio and stage

Back in the studio, mount the Traveler in your rack with the
included rack ears. Eight channels of ADAT optical I/O make the
Traveler an ideal companion for a digital console. The ADAT lightpipe
connection supports sample rates up to 96kHz.

Additional features

The Traveler includes a 16-channel MIDI interface. Simply plug in
your FireWire cable, and both MIDI and audio are ready to go. Connect
any MIDI device, such as a controller keyboard, synth module, automated
control surface or drum machine. Timing is sample-accurate with
supporting software.

The Traveler provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac OS X
(10.2.3 or higher), Windows Me/2000/XP and all of your favorite audio
software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. Or you
can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for Macintosh, with
24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.

1. Volume and headphone output control
Dual function knob provides separate volume control over main outputs
and headphones. Headphone output can supply a separate mix.

2. Mic and instrument input controls
Four microphone preamplifiers provide plenty of gain with individually
switchable phantom power. Fine tune input gain in 1 dB increments with
the Traveler’s unique digital Precision Trim?. View input gain values
in the LCD display as you make adjustments. Save input trim settings
for instant total recall.

3. Optical I/O and ADAT sync

Eight channels of ADAT optical (lightpipe) input and output. Connect a
digital mixer or an additional A/D/A converter. Also supports four
channels of 96kHz digital audio. ADAT sync port provides
sample-accurate sync for compatible devices. Transfer multiple passes
of ADAT via lightpipe with single-sample accuracy every time.

4. Word clock
Word clock input and output for synchronization with a wide variety of digital devices?or a centralized word clock source.

5. Standard 1394 ‘FireWire’ ports
Connect your FireWire-equipped computer here. No PCI or PC cards to
install?just plug in and go. MOTU FireWire interfaces are expandable;
the second FireWire port allows you to daisy-chain more devices without
a FireWire hub.

6. AES/EBU I/O
24-bit, 96kHz AES/EBU digital I/O. Connect a DAT machine or effects processor.

7. CueMix DSP? mixer controls
Create up to four stereo monitor mixes with 20 inputs each using these
front-panel controls. Mix to any four output pairs you wish. Because
the mixing takes place in the Traveler itself, your computer’s
processor is free for other tasks.

8. Multi-function backlit LCD display
The Traveler can be used as a stand-alone mixer. The front-panel
display allows you to configure your mix and system settings, using an
intuitive interface. Dedicated LEDs display audio levels, tach and lock
status, and clock rate.

9. S/PDIF I/O
24-bit, 96kHz S/PDIF digital I/O. The S/PDIF and AES/EBU I/O are discrete inputs and outputs, and can be used simultaneously.

10. Eight balanced analog ins/outs
24-bit, 192kHz analog inputs and outputs on balanced/unbalanced
connectors. Input level can be switched between +4/-10 for each input.
Resolve the Traveler directly to SMPTE time code from an analog video
tape deck or video source. No extra synchronizer needed.

11. Mic and instrument inputs
Four inputs accept either high impedance quarter-inch inputs or low impedance XLR microphone inputs.

12. Removable rack ears
The Traveler fits comfortably under a laptop computer, or you can attach the included ears for rack mount operation.

13. MIDI input and output
No need to carry an additional MIDI interface. Connect a MIDI
controller, keyboard, sound module, control surface or any other MIDI
device.

14. Additional power options
The Traveler can be powered via the FireWire cable connected to your
computer, but additional power sources are supported, such as an
external battery (sold separately) for extended recording sessions and
for stand-alone mixer operation without a computer. Also, a DC power
adapter (included) can be connected.
