Fast Track C600 Back Panel Features
Figure 2 identifies each port on the back panel of the Fast Track C600.
The Fast Track C600 back panel provides the fol-
lowing:
Power Supply Input
This socket is used for connecting the included
5 Volt DC (2 Amp) external power supply.
When the powers supply is connected, the top
panel Power LED will illuminate indicating that
the interface is receiving power.
When your Fast Track C600 is receiving power
from the external power supply, all of its inputs
and outputs will be available.
USB Port
This port is used to connect Fast Track C600 to a
USB 2.0 port on your computer using the USB
cable included with your interface. This connec-
tion allows audio and MIDI signals to pass be-
tween the interface and your computer.
Fast Track C600 can be “bus powered” through
the USB cable when external “wall” power is not
available. This is useful in remote locations
when a laptop’s battery may be the only avail-
able source of power. However, please note that
analog inputs 3-4, line outputs 5-6, and head-
phone output 2 are not available when the in-
terface is being bus powered. This limitation is
present because the USB specification does not
provide enough current to power all of the high-
quality Fast Track C600 components.

While it is possible to power the interface
through the USB cable without the power
supply, please note that due to inherent
power limitations of the USB bus, analog
inputs 3-4, analog outputs 5-6, and head-
phone output 2 will not be available. These
inputs and outputs are only available when
the external power supply is used.
When using the external power supply, you
still need to use the USB connection to get
audio and MIDI signals to pass between the
interface and your computer.
