The Transit USB also has an optical digital output, sometimes referred to as a TOSLink
connector.You may connect this digital output to the optical digital inputs of a home theater
or stereo, CD-R or MiniDisc recorder, or any device that supports a two-channel optical
digital input. When outputting a two-channel signal, the signal at Transit USB’s analog and
digital outputs is identical.
NOTE:If you need to connect to a device with coaxial S/PDIF inputs,you may purchase
the Co2 Coaxial/Optical Bi-directional Converter from M-Audio for this purpose.
This optical digital output can also transmit a multichannel encoded digital audio signal from
a Dolby Digital or DTS-equipped source.Transit USB’s digital output supports 16-bit AC-3

Input Connections
Your Transit USB is equipped with a unique combination optical/analog input which can
accept a standard 1/8” stereo analog input at either Mic or Line level. This input can also
accept an optical digital input, via the included TOSLink-to-mini optical adapter.Transit USB’s
input jack automatically detects whether the input is analog or digital.
Transit USB’s input can also supply +5V bias voltage to power an electret condenser
microphone such as those supplied with some computer audio products.
Latency
Latency is defined as the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio
software and appear at the outputs. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency, but may not
function well with slower systems.This drop-down menu selects the buffer size Transit USB
uses to handle digital audio streaming.
Transit USB’s Control Panel
InWindows, you can open theTransit USB’s control panel by double clicking on the M-Audio
icon in the system tray. On the Mac, select Control Panels under the Apple menu, and locate

but if you wish to, you can experiment with lower settings. If you experience stuttering or
crackling in your audio playback, try using a higher latency setting.
