➤ IMPORTANT NOTE: Fast Track Ultra has been designed as a USB 2.0 device. It
may be used with a USB 1.1 port, but will then only function as a 2-in/2-out device with
sample rates limited to 44.1 and 48 kHz. This is due to the limitations of the USB 1.1
bus bandwidth.
➤ IMPORTANT NOTE: Fast Track Ultra can be powered via the included AC power
supply or via bus power from the host computer. However, when running on bus power,
Fast Track Ultra will be limited to four inputs and four outputs. These are mapped to
inputs 1/2, outputs 1/2, and the S/PDIF I/O.
