Hookup Diagrams
The FireWire connector on the Onyx 400F can be connected directly to a FireWire equipped
computer running a DAW application (Digital Audio Workstation). In this example, an electric bass
guitar is plugged into the Instrument input on channel 1, microphones are plugged into channels 2-4,
and channels 5-8 are used for stereo inputs from a guitar and keyboard. The analog LINE OUTs 1-6
are sent to a headphone distribution amp to provide individual headphone mixes for the talent. A
Mackie Control Universal is connected via the MIDI IN/OUTs, which controls the Tracktion 2 soft-
ware installed on the computer. An external FireWire hard drive is connected to the second FireWire
connection on the Onyx 400F to serve as a dedicated memory storage device for the audio fi les.
