controllers with IR blasters, etc.) Transporter will respond to signals on this input identically to signals received via the IR receiver on the front panel and can be directly connected to IR transmitter devices via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable as if connecting to an IR LED dongle.

Transporter also has an infrared output for the Transporter to control other interfaces, for instance turning on a receiver or preamp and setting the receiver to a particular input that the Transporter is connected to. This output requires an IR emitter connected via the 3.5mm mono connection and that the SlimServer IR Blaster plugin software is installed and configured appropriately. The IR Blaster software can be found under “Plugins” at

Analog Output Attenuation

Transporter has a set of internal attenuators that can be used to reduce the voltage level of the unbalanced analog outputs. If you are connecting Transporter directly to an amplifier that does not have an input gain control, you may need to change the attenuation level.

To change the attenuation level, you’ll need to remove the cover of your Transporter and move a pair of jumpers.

You’ll need a 1/16” hex key to remove the screws holding the cover on. To do this:

1.Unplug Transporter from the AC power.

2.Using a 1/16” hex key, remove four screws on each side of Transporter that hold the top in place. (You do not need to remove any of the screws on the bottom of Transporter.)

3.Slide the top off towards the back of the unit.

4.Near the unbalanced analog outputs, you’ll see a set of jumpers, like in the picture below:

As it comes from the factory, Transporter is set for 0 dB attenuation. To adjust the attenuation, gently pull the black jumper conductors at the 0 dB position and move them to the position corresponding to the attenuation level you’d like. Choices include -10dB, -20dB and -30dB.

5. Slide the top cover back on and replace the eight hex screws.
