User questions & answers

Question:	Is the software disk or downloads
Answer:	The Software is downloads. ProTools first requires internet connection and has a small cloud coverage, they want you to buy more space. My ProTools sessions won’t open in ProTools first. I believe the AIR Instruments it comes with requires an Ilok dongle and Ilok account for activation. The HDH 40 Headphones are cheap made compared to the HDH 50s. The Mic is ok, the interface is nice made and nice looking. It’s worth the money Guitar Center still carries the only interface this one isn’t really circulated yet!
Question:	Is it ever in stock? been waiting for a month now with it ordered an i keep getting a different arrival time.. is it worth the wait
Answer:	Yes. I too received different delivery dates. It arrived as soon as it was in stock. It is worth the wait.
Question:	will it still work if it connects from a usb c to a macbook that has usb c connection?, will it work the same with a usb c/usb c cable
Answer:	It will you can even use adapters to change its connection to usb or thunderbolt
Question:	Hi, can i use this with fl studio
Answer:	Hi, M-Audio support here! Thanks for your question. I can confirm the AIR 192|4 interface in this package will be suitable as an audio interface for FL Studio! I hope this helps and If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us directly - [email protected] Thanks, Krishan

Product description

The M-Audio Bass Traveler is a portable headphone amplifier with a pair of 1/8-inch headphone jacks, so you can increase the quality of what you’re listening to, then share it with someone else.

The sound quality out of a mobile device’s headphone jack or coming from the standard-issue computer’s soundcard leaves a lot to be desired, even if you’ve got spectacular headphones.

Many personal digital music players have a limited output for driving high-quality headphones, but the Bass Traveler has a two-level gain switch to boost the signal level, so the sound is always crisp and clear. It is ideal for use with virtually all headphones from 16-100 ohms, so you can get full performance out of your top-notch brand or just get more bass in your earbuds.

A rotary on/off/volume control makes it easy to operate. The long-lasting built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery provides several hours of uninterrupted listening enjoyment. There is an LED indicator for power on, low battery, and battery charge, and re-charging is done through the convenient micro-USB port.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why would I need a headphone amplifier?

Headphone amplifiers can be great for anyone looking to get the most out of their favorite pair of headphones and improve their overall listening experience.

Cell phones, tablets and other listening devices these days may sound ok for general use, but could be lacking in overall response. A good headphone amplifier can improve the frequency response, clarity and add a much needed volume boost for high impedance headphones. They can also help in loud environments where it may be necessary to turn the headphone volume up more than normal like playing drums to a backing track.

In addition, the Bass Traveler also features a second headphone output that can be used to split the signal to a second pair of headphones for a second listener.

What is impedance?

To avoid getting too technical, impedance in this case is the resistance your headphones apply to the incoming audio signal.

Picture a garden hose with water flowing through it. When you bend the hose, you are resisting the flow of water and therefore adding impedance. In order to get the same amount of water to flow out the end of the hose, you'll need to increase the water flow. The same applies to your audio signal. Impedance in an audio signal is measured in Ohms. The higher the ohms, the higher the impedance or resistance level.

Headphones come in a variety of different impedance levels to combat the large variety of ways in which we listen to music these days. Headphones with a lower impedance level are typically consumer style models like iphone earbuds (about 23 ohms). These work best with devices with weaker amplification systems like your iphone or tablet. Because of the lack of resistance, the iphone or tablet won't need to work very hard to push the signal through to your headphones.

On the other end of the spectrum, headphones with a higher impedance (over 50 ohms) are better suited for use with stronger amplifiers, most commonly found in professional audio or stereo equipment. If you use a pair of high impedance headphones with your iphone, you may find them lacking in volume level, frequency response or clarity.

This is where the Bass Traveler comes in and gives your headphones the extra boost they need to operate at their best. The Bass Traveler will support headphones with impedance from 16 ohms all the way up to 100 ohms.

How long does the battery last and how can I charge it?

The Bass Traveler should be charged initially for about 2 hours before its first use. After that, the battery should last about 6-8 hours on a full charge and will only take about an hour to charge back up again. The light on the Bass Traveler will flash to indicate a low battery charge and should be plugged in to charge again as soon as possible.

The Bass Traveler will include a USB to USB micro cable to plug the unit into a USB wall charger or free USB port on your computer for charging. Your computer will need to be turned on or providing power to its USB ports in order to charge the Bass Traveler. The light on the unit will turn purple to indicate it is charging and turn blue again once it is finished.

You can continue to use the device while it is plugged in.

Can I play audio over USB?

The Bass Traveler will not accept any audio signal via USB, only the 1/8" (3.5mm) input. This allows the device to work with virtually any modern music listening device with a headphone port. You can, however, continue to use the Bass Traveler while it is plugged into a USB port and charging.

What does the Boost switch do?

The Boost switch is a pre-set bass boost EQ that can be switched to off (flat), a slight increase (M), or a max increase (H). This can be helpful for headphones with a limited bass response or for users that just need that extra boost in the low end.

Music’s Better Shared

Share your sound and transform your MP3 player, phone or tablet into a two-output device with M-Audio’s ultra-portable battery powered headphone amplifier, Bass Traveler.

Featuring two conveniently located 1/8-inch headphone outputs and one 1/8-inch stereo input jack, Bass Traveler seamlessly connects to virtually all personal listing devices, enhancing the source audio without the signal degradation often experienced using conventional splitters.

Built-In Battery

Whether you’re at home or on the go, Bass Traveler’s built-in, long-lasting lithium-ion battery provides up to 8 hours of uninterrupted listening enjoyment.

With the inclusion of a LED power indicator you can be certain of your current charge level, low battery warnings and charging status. Recharging the battery is a breeze courtesy of a convenient micro USB port for seamless connection to a USB power adapter or standard computer USB port.

Superior Sound

Bass Traveler guarantees you experience your music collection as it was always intended to be heard. The sound quality from the typical headphone jack on a portable device or coming from the standard-issue soundcard found in virtually every computer leaves a lot to be desired.

Compatibility Covered

Getting the best out of your headphones couldn’t be simpler thanks to Bass Traveler’s on-board selectable 2-position boost switch.

Many personal digital music players have a limited output for driving high-quality headphones-which may have a higher impedance, a lower pass band voltage sensitivity or both-but Bass Traveler’s innovative 2-level gain switch seamlessly boosts the signal level, guaranteeing crisp and clear sound output.

Product description

Add a professional edge to your studio with the M-Track Eight from M-Audio.

This eight-input USB 2.0 audio interface enables you to track large music ensembles, record the band, or mic an entire drum set with pro-grade audio components and a myriad of connections.

M-Track Eight connects to your computer via USB 2.0 and easily integrates into your studio with its standard 1U 19” rack size. With a single USB cable, M-Track Eight creates a two-way audio connection with your Mac or PC, enabling you to record directly into your favorite DAW or playback audio to mix and master your tracks. Plus, Cubase 7 LE comes bundled with M-Track Eight for out-of-the-box music creation and gives you a powerful software environment to record, edit, and bounce down your songs.

The included software suite also offers an impressive selection of plugin effects from Waves Audio to put a professional finish to your production: AudioTrack, Eddie Kramer Effect Channel, TrueVerb, L1 Ultramaximizer, and Manny Marroquin Delay.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Does the M-Track Eight require software drivers?

For an Apple computer running Mac OSX, no drivers are required. On a Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer, only one driver installation is necessary, found on the M-Audio Drivers/Updates page. 

 

Will the M-Track Eight work with other DAW software?

Yes! Virtually any Mac OSX or Windows Digital Audio Workstation software capable of using USB audio interfaces will work with the M-Track Eight.

 

Can I use an external microphone preamp or direct box with the M-Track Eight?

Yes! When connecting an external mic preamp, direct box, or any other type of preamplifier to the M-Track, use a 1/4" TS or TRS type connector as this will bypass the M-Track Eight's internal microphone preamps. Only use an XLR type connection for microphones. 

 

The LED lights on the front of the M-Track Eight do not light up all of the time. Have I set the levels properly?

To achieve optimum input levels, adjust the input gain while the source (microphone, instrument) is receiving the loudest signal. For example, have a vocalist sing through the loudest section of the song. At this loudest point, you should see one or two green LED lights. Drums and other percussive sources may occasionally display the yellow light. The red light indicates the input gain is set too high. 

 

What value does each LED segment on the level meters signify?

The meters are calibrated relative to  0dBFS, which is the point of digital clipping.

They values are approximately as follows: 

Red: -0.5dBFS

Amber: -3dBFS

Green1: -6dBFS

Green2: -20dBFS

 

Which output on the back do I connect my speakers to?

Connect your speakers or studio monitors to the MONITOR OUTPUT. This output will be controlled by the large MONITOR knob on the front panel. The other 8 outputs of the M-Track Eight are assignable from the outputs of your audio software (ex, Cubase LE7).

 

Are the inputs and outputs "Balanced" or "Unbalanced"?

All inputs and outputs on the M-Track Eight can accept both balanced and unbalanced line connections. Note that only XLR and TRS type connectors carry balanced signals, while TS and RCA type connectors are always unbalanced. 

 

The sound from my Mac is very quiet, even when I turn the M-Track Eight up all the way! Is this normal?

Mac OSX has a separate, internal volume control. We recommend keeping this all the way up in your Mac's System Preferences > Sound > Output menu. On some Macs, you may also control the volume with the function keys on the keyboard.

 

The M-Track Eight is very warm to the touch. Is this normal?

 Yes.  The M-Track 8 will be very warm during normal operation, but will not burn the skin when touched. Preamps of this design and quality require a good deal of juice to operate (19V 2.37A in this case).

User questions & answers

Question:	whar is in the packge ? dose this include i lock and pro tools and cubes and ableton etc as its mention in avid site
Answer:	These headphones are a completely standard 1/8th inch jack configuration. The only key difference is that the cord is easily replaceable with a male 1/8th inch to male 1/8 cord you can buy at any media supply store. There is no microphone. They will probably work listening to music if your iPhone has a female 1/8th inch jack for this purpose. Not all do. They will not work to return calls or answer calls due to the lack of a microphone. These headphones are really designed for dedicated use with iPod types of configurations.
Question:	Can you connect two to get 16 XLR inputs like with the old M-Audio FW
Answer:	buy another set
Question:	Does this unit work with FL Studio
Answer:	Please always hand wash all your knives. The dishwasher is hard on your knives whether they are ceramic, ceramic coated, etc. Your knives will have that nice new look when you hand wash. We use a variety of knives in our two kitchens and always hand wash. Good luck with your knives.
Question:	If I were to plug in 8 mics, I could balance them all out first before plugging into the computer, correct
Answer:	yes, they do, good knife set!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it require software for pc? Does it come with it or where can I download it at
Answer:	I've used it on an Apple laptop in GarageBand, but I really do not think it was meant for use on cell phones. At the very least, it does not have the connectors for either.
Question:	I lost the usb, can you tell me where I can get a replacement or what cord to look for
Answer:	That's something you need to with settings in your DAW.
Question:	Would this work with an ipad or an iphone? Will the iphone or ipad recognize this in let's say Garageband software
Answer:	It contains glycerin but doesn't indicate whether it is animal or vegetable derived although it also has emulsified wax and it does say "vegetable derived." Hope this helps.
Question:	How do I pan the microphone output signal from USB to the middle? It's all to one side as a stereo channel
Answer:	Pure Touch Organics Massage Crème does not contain Aloe Vera.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with a Mac Mini
Answer:	.25 watts. That is POINT 25, as in a 1/4 of one watt. That may sound low when compared to wattage for speakers; however, it is a fair amount of power for headphones.
Question:	Would this be a good solution if I'm trying to connect 2 JBL LSR305 Studio Monitors to my computer
Answer:	if you have high resistance headphones (like my M50x) it absolutely does amplify the signal, but only by maybe 10-20% above normal... however I used this to hook up my laptop to my stereo, and my stereo has a digital volume control readout and I can assure you that with this thing, putting the stereo at -35 sounds like it's at -25 (the readout is in negative so lower number=louder.)
Question:	Should I get this M-Track or should I get Behringer Q802USB? New to recording, and am going to try FL Studio as software. I might like the flexibility of having mixer to play at the park gazebo with a friend. Opinions
Answer:	Yes. The amplifier works while charging. I leave it plugged in at my desk.
Question:	Are the complaints that the preamp volume/gain is too weak a serious problem
Answer:	I own both products and it depends on your preference. Without the amp, the headphones sound like they should (obviously) bass is stong, mids and highs sound stellar. With the amp, for me anyways, the bass drowned out the mids a little and the highs started piercing my ears a little. Also, I made the mistake of pushing the headphones too much and the drivers are a little damaged now. So, the headphone amp is good to but some more boom in the headphones but be careful.
