IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all of these instructions and save them for future reference. Follow all
warnings and instructions marked on the unit.
• Do not obstruct air vents in the rear panel. Do not insert objects through any
apertures.
• Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
• Unplug the unit before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill
liquid on the unit.
• Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating. As this is a Class
A unit, we recommend leaving a blank 1U panel above the unit to aid ventilation.
• Unplug the unit and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered
the unit; if the unit has been dropped or the case damaged; if the unit does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding-type plug. A
polarised plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third
prong is provided for your safety. When the plug provided does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
WARNING: THIS UNIT MUST BE EARTHED BY THE POWER CORD.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAINS EARTH BE
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS LEAD.
This unit is supplied pre-configured to operate only at the voltage indicated on the
rear panel. Ensure correct mains voltage is available and the correct fuse value is fitted
before connecting to the mains supply. To avoid the risk of fire, replace the mains fuse
only with the correct value fuse, as marked on the rear panel. The internal power
supply unit contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to a qualified service
engineer, through the appropriate Focusrite dealer.
RACK VENTILATION: AS THE TWINTRAK PRO IS A CLASS A
DEVICE, PLEASE ENSURE IT IS PLACED TOWARDS THE BOTTOM
OF YOUR EQUIPMENT RACK, WITH SUFFICIENT SPACE ABOVE
AND BELOW FOR VENTILATION.

INTRODUCTION
TwinTrak Pro is an extremely focused and cost-effective stereo processor; the perfect
‘analogue plug-in’ for any modern audio recording studio. It provides all the necessary
tools to:
• Track stereo or dual mono signals
• Process stereo or dual mono signals
• Monitor signals within the mix via a simple hands-on control surface
• Carry out essential processing for mixdown purposes
See TWINTRAK PRO AND YOUR STUDIO on page 17 for further information
on how TwinTrak Pro can enhance your current studio setup.
TwinTrak Pro combines two facility-enhanced Class A pre-amps with a custom
optical dual mono/stereo compressor. In addition, TwinTrak Pro boasts a number of
unique features above and beyond its pre-amps and compressors, including variable
input impedance, instant ‘air’, mid-scoop EQ and a latency free monitoring section
that boasts enhanced routing and control options, featuring a DAC as standard, as well
as an optional ADC.
When recording, do not assume you must route your signal through a mixing desk:
simply connect your sources to TwinTrak Pro and connect the outputs of TwinTrak
Pro directly into your sound card or recording device. This form of direct recording
will ensure you record the cleanest signal at the highest quality, since it removes the
possibility of noise being added to the signal when routing through a mixer.
Indeed, with many engineers now mixing within the DAW, and with TwinTrak Pro
providing you with two comprehensive record channels and latency-free monitoring,
you may no longer need your mixing desk, saving precious studio space.
There are 3 separate signal processing sections within each of TwinTrak Pro's two
record paths:
• Discrete Class A Pre-amp
• Mid Scoop EQ
• Optical Compressor
To ensure the cleanest signal path to your recording medium both the MID SCOOP
EQ and the OPTICAL COMPRESSOR can be individually switched out of the
audio path (‘hard bypassed’) when not in use.
GETTING TO KNOW THE UNIT
Whilst you are getting to know the unit, use it with a sound source with which you
are familiar. For example, you could run a favourite CD through the unit, as working
with a familiar track makes interpretation of the results easier. Note, however, that
most tracks are already compressed for CD, so you may find it hard to hear the results
of using the Optical Compressor. If this is the case, try using ‘dry’ samples instead, or
record your own track uncompressed, then play it back through TwinTrak Pro.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
CHANNEL 1 (L) and CHANNEL 2 (R) - Each channel has a balanced (+4
dBu) TRS jack LINE INPUT connector on the rear panel, with balanced XLR MIC
INPUT and unbalanced 1/4” jack INSTRUMENT INPUT connectors located on
the front fascia. The TRS jack INSERT connectors on the rear panel allow an
additional processor to be inserted into the signal chain between the pre-amps and the
other processing sections of the unit. OUTPUTS are provided on both balanced (+4
dBu) XLR and unbalanced (-10 dBV) 1/4” jack connectors. There is also a TRS jack
COMPRESSOR SIDE-CHAIN INSERT connector – see page 6 for details.
FX - The balanced (+4 dBu) TRS jack FX SEND and FX RETURN connectors
allow effects units to be used in the monitor section without affecting what is being
recorded. See LATENCY-FREE MONITORING and MONITOR LEVELS on
page 7 for further details.
LATENCY- FREE MONITORING - The balanced (+4 dBu) TRS jack
MONITOR INPUT connectors allow the output of a stereo mixer or sound card to
be connected to the TwinTrak Pro’s LATENCY-FREE MONITORING system.
There are also balanced (+4 dBu) TRS jack HEADPHONES MIX connectors and
balanced (+4 dBu) XLR MONITOR OUTPUT connectors, allowing the TwinTrak
Pro to be connected to an external monitoring system. See LATENCY-FREE
MONITORING CONNECTIONS on page 8 for further details.
DAC INPUT - The co-axial (RCA phono) S/PDIF connector allows a digital
signal to be fed to either the monitoring section, or to the line input for further
processing. This section also features a BNC wordclock out connector. See DIGITAL
CONNECTIONS on page 9 for further details.
ADC OUTPUT - An optional ADC is available and can be retrofitted at any time.
This provides an S/PDIF output as well as a BNC wordclock in connection. See
DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTION on page 9 for further details.
GETTING STARTED
1. Ensure that nothing other than the mains supply is connected to your TwinTrak
Pro, then switch it on via the POWER switch on the right hand side of the unit. If
your unit is permanently connected to a patchbay, ensure audio is not being fed to any
connected speakers, thus avoiding any 'turn-on' speaker pops.
2. Connect the appropriate OUTPUTS (either +4 dBu balanced XLR or –10 dBV
unbalanced jack) from both channels on the rear panel of the TwinTrak Pro to your
recorder or audio interface. If using the digital output option, connect the digital
output to the digital input of your recorder or audio interface. See page 9 for more
information on the TwinTrak Pro digital output option. If using your digital input,
connect the digital input to the digital output of your recorder or audio interface.
3. Connect the MONITOR inputs to your desk or sound card output and connect
the MONITOR outputs to your monitor amplifier inputs or external powered
monitor speakers.
4. Ensure that each processing section is switched out (IN switch disengaged and
unlit).
5. Connect your input sources as required. Microphones can be plugged into the XLR
MIC INPUTs on the front fascia. If you wish to connect a line-level source (to use the
TwinTrak Pro's dynamics processing when mixing down, for example) connect this to
the TRS LINE INPUTs on the rear panel. Alternatively, you may connect electric
guitars or similar instruments to the INSTRUMENT INPUTs via the unbalanced
1/4” jack inputs on the front fascia. Be sure to select the right gain option (HIGH
GAIN switched in for instruments that require extra gain, such as passive instruments)
- see page 5 for more on the HIGH GAIN setting.
6. Check that the correct input is selected in the DISCRETE CLASS A PRE-AMP
section. If recording a line level source connected to the rear panel LINE INPUT,
ensure the LINE switch is engaged. If recording an instrument through the front
INSTRUMENT INPUT, ensure the INST switch is engaged. The MIC LED will
illuminate if neither the INST or LINE switches are engaged. The MIC input is then
automatically selected.
7. Make sure the phase reverse (Ø) and HPF ( ) switches are disengaged and that the
LEVEL control is fully counter-clockwise.
8. If using a condenser or dynamic microphone that requires phantom power, engage
the +48V switch. If you are unsure whether your microphone requires this phantom
power, refer to its user guide. Phantom power can damage some microphones,
especially ribbon microphones, so beware.
