1. APPENDIX FIREWIRE BUS POWER The Desktop Konnekt 6 can use FireWire bus power With FireWire bus power the device is powered directly from the FireWire connection and you do therefore not need to use the external power supply There are a few things to be aware of regarding bus power 4 pin FireWire connectors Please note that not all FireWire ports are able to provide bus power at all Some laptop computers carry 4 pin connectors These do not provide bus power Several Konnekt units on a single FireWire bus If you run more than one Konnekt device on a FireWire bus only one of them can be bus powered the others require power from the external power supply Insufficient bus power Some laptop computers even those with 6 pin connectors do not provide enough bus power for a single Konnekt unit to run properly If you experience any problems please use the provided external power supply as the first effort to solve the problems CONNECTING DISCONNECTING We recommend closing the TC Near Control Panel when plugging or unplugging the FireWire cable on Konnekt units Hot plugging unplugging is NOT supported 3l Digital Inputs and Outputs Firewire Digital IO Engine Clock and Jitter Internal Sample Rates Jitter Rejection Engine Jitter Rejection Filter AD DA Conversion Jitter Processing Delay DIO 96 48 kHz Unbal Line HiZ Inputs Ch 1 2 Connectors Sensitivity Range Impedance F2.
