5. Front/Rear Input Selector
This switch selects which pair of analog inputs will be active. When the switch is in the OUT position,
the front panel Microphone Input (1) and Guitar Input (6) are active. When the switch is in the IN
position, the rear panel Line Inputs (19) are active.
6. Guitar Input
Instrument-level input on unbalanced 1/4" phone connector, for use with guitars, basses or other
instrument-level sources. This connector is only active when the Front/Rear Input Selector (5) is set
to "Front" (OUT position). Input from this connector appears in your DAW software as a mono signal
on the right side of the stereo input pair.
7. Clip indicator
This LED illuminates when the Guitar Input signal level exceeds –1 dBFS. If the Clip Indicator glows
steadily, reduce the Guitar Input gain level (8).
8. Guitar Input Gain
This knob controls the amount of gain at the Guitar Input (6), over a range of 0dB to +30dB or
greater.
9. Phantom Power Switch
This switch activates the +48V phantom power, for use with condenser mics requiring external
power. When Phantom Power is active, the Phantom Power Indicator LED (3) is lit.
NOTE: It is safe to connect most modern dynamic microphones or line level devices to the
channel inputs when phantom power is activated. However, be aware that some older ribbon
microphones may be damaged by phantom power, and certain unbalanced line level devices
may malfunction or produce an audible hum when phantom power is active. Consult the
owner's manual for these devices before you connect them to phantom power sources.
10. Output Level Control
This knob controls the amount of output gain to the rear-panel Line Output (18) and the front-panel
Headphone Output (11).
11. Headphone Output
Stereo 1/4" TRS phone jack output for connection of headphones for monitoring the output signal.
The volume level is controlled by the Output Level Control (10).
12. Power Indicator
This LED illuminates when the FireWire Solo is powered on, either via buss power or the AC
adaptor.

13. AC Input
Connect the supplied AC adaptor to this input. The AC adaptor is required when operating the
FireWire Solo with only a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire connection, or when using the FireWire Solo as a
stand-alone A/D converter. The AC adaptor is not needed when running the FireWire Solo on a
standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire connection.
