3- Connecting Your Model Three or Model Four
Set up:
1) Find a suitable location with good ventilation for your Model Three or Model Four
converter.
2) Connect a TRS cable or DB-25 multi-pin connector for the Analog (Model Four).
A DB-25 connector is required to connect the AES digital output of your hardware:
Model Three Rear Panel.
AES/EBU connections are found on the DB-25 multi-pin connector
Model Four Rear panel.
Two 1/4 TRS balanced connectors, labeled 1 & 2, match channels 1 & 2 on the
DB-25
2) Connect analog outputs and/or digital outputs to your equipment. Usually connected to an
input on your preamp.
3) Connect the FW Cable, first to the FireWire Port on your computer, then to the FireWire Port
on your Model Three or Model Four.
4) Connect the Universal Power supply, first to the box, then to the power socket.
5) Turn power switch on and move on to 'How To Install Sonic Console Software & Drivers'
below.
NOTE: The 6-pin FireWire connector is polarized by its shape, one end of the connector is
pointed. The FireWire ports on Model Three or Model Four point downwards toward the bottom
of the box. It will be very difficult to insert the connector upside down, but it is possible if you
force it. If the plug is inserted into the socket upside down, the socket will be destroyed.
NEVER FORCE A FIREWIRE CONNECTOR INTO A FIREWIRE SOCKET.
TECH NOTE: If you have more than one external FireWire device attached to your computer
such as a Model Three or Model Four converter and external hard drives, never “daisy chain”
devices. That is, do not serially attach one device to another. Purchase a FireWire hub
instead.
POWER NOTE: Your Model Three or Model Four ships with a world-ready 24 volt, 2 amp
power supply. You can plug this supply into any AC power source from 90V to 240V, 50Hz -
60Hz, using an appropriate IEC power cord, and it will supply the proper power to the Model
