Can analog outs on Traveler bypass A/D/A conversion?

Post by eclaire »

I've tried getting an answer to this question by general net searches and by searching here, to no avail.

Is there a way to utilize ONLY the microphone preamplification of the Traveler and output only preamplified, line-level analog signal, untouched by any digital conversions? I assume if you in anyway go through the Cuemix functions, you have already digitally converted the analog input and will therefore be re-converting to analog upon any routing to the analog outputs.

OT's right, Eclaire; you'd literally have to tap the preamp's output from within the unit and feed that to the outside world, probably through custom holes unless you're willing to rip a D/A module out.
