Soundcraft Si Multi Digital Card User Guide 1013
FIREWIRE AND USB CONNECTORS
The Soundcraft Multi Digital card features a Firewire 400
port and requires the corresponding 6 pin male plug. An
Apple™ MacBook Pro™ (from 2009) uses the Firewire 800
plug so a Firewire 400 – 800 (6pin-9pin) cable must be
used to connect these devices. If your device has a 4 pin
firewire port most commonly found on a PC laptop, a 4pin
to 6pin cable is required.
The Soundcraft Multi Digital USB port is the square ‘B
type’ connector (a standard for all peripheral devices).
Most USB host devices use the rectangular ‘A type’
connector so typically a ‘Type A to B’ cable is required.
NOTE: Firewire and USB cables come in many different forms, ensure you use the
correct cables for your system.
NOTE: It is advised to install the latest drivers in the host computer before connecting
the Multi Digital card. Drivers may be found on the Soundcraft website; there is a
1394 driver for firewire devices and USB drivers for USB devices.
