Getting Started
Precautions when powering Ensemble On/Off
Before powering Ensemble On, ensure that any speakers or amplifiers connected to
Ensemble’s analog outputs are powered off, or the volume turned down to the minimum
setting. This will prevent potential damage to your speakers and other equipment from “pops”
that may occur as the unit boots up.
1. Power off speakers
2. Power Ensemble On
3. Power on speakers.
Likewise, before powering Ensemble off, ensure any speakers or amplifiers connected to Ensemble’s analog
outputs are powered off, or the volume turned down to the minimum setting.
1. Power off speakers
2. Power Ensemble Off
Thunderbolt Notes
•
Two Thunderbolt 2 connections on Ensemble enable daisy-chaining other Thunderbolt devices to your
computer.
•
It does not matter which position Ensemble is placed in the chain.
•
Exception: When connecting a mix of Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt™ 2 devices in a chain, connect
Ensemble and other Thunderbolt 2 devices to the computer first.
•
i.e.: Thunderbolt 2 Mac > Thunderbolt 2 devices > Thunderbolt devices
•
Up to 6 peripherals may be connected in a chain.
•
Thunderbolt peripherals continue to operate when Ensemble is powered off. This ensures that displays, hard
drives, or other essential equipment doesn’t lose connection to the computer when Ensemble is not in use.
•
A non-Thunderbolt device (i.e. Firewire, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) may be connected to the chain, but it or the
adapter for the device must be placed at the end.
A Mac is compatible with Ensemble if it has the Thunderbolt logo. The Mini DisplayPort, featured on many pre-
Thunderbolt Macs, is the exact same size as the Thunderbolt port but does NOT support Thunderbolt devices.
