kerochan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 My Macbook Air has one TB2 port, this connects to my Universal Audio Interface, which means I have used up the only port I can use for my external display, I cant seem to find any docks/hubs that I can use !! any advice? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinloops Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I think that audio device has a thunderbolt through port. You can cascade multiple interfaces or connect an external hard drive to the through port. Not sure if the thru port would be compatible with a mo it or but worth looking into.

Unfortunately the interface only has one TB port, cant cascade anything from it, this my problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need TB2 also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinloops Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Do you already have a monitor? I think some TB monitors have a thru port. What is the exact model of the interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rAC Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 My pet peeve TB devices with only one port, surely it can’t add that much to the cost of devices that are already ‘premium’ in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep seems crazy, my main system is a Macbook Pro, which has the 2 TB ports, the MacbookAir is my back up system, but I cant use the external screen, seems crazy there must be an answer!
