CAD Audio U1 User manual

U1 USB Recording Microphone
Before using the U1 in your favorite audio or communications
application you must confirm that the computer’s operating
system recognizes the U1.
Windows XP recognition instructions
1. Plug the U1 into the USB port on the computer.
(When using a USB hub, check with the hub manufacturer to
be sure the hub supports a device such as a microphone. Plug
the U1 directly into the computer’s powered USB port for
optimal performance.)
2. Allow 30 to 60 seconds for the system software to recognize
the U1. (A series of bubbles will appear by the Windows
toolbar to notify you of a new device.)
3. In the Start Menu, select Control Panel.
4. Select “Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices”.
5. Select “Sounds and Audio Devices”.
6. Select the “Audio” tab. Confirm that under the “Sound
recording” section the “C-Media USB Audio Device” is
selected. (The “Sound playback” should remain your usual
sound output device).
7. Select the “Volume” tab under the Sound recording heading
and select “Advanced Controls” in the Options menu of this
window.
8. Click the “Advanced” button to open the “Advanced Controls
for Wave In” window. Depending upon your system, you
might have the option of selecting “1 AGC” or “Mic boost”.
Checking this option will significantly increase the sensitivity
of the microphone. Use this for recording softer sounds. If you
experience distortion when recording louder sounds, try
unchecking this option.
(Default playback device)
9. Launch your audio recording software.
10. Position the U1 approximately 4 to 6 inches from the sound
source for best results.
11. Locate the preferences in your audio program and select
the “C-Media USB Audio Device”. Adjust the input level in this
program so that the audio signal is not distorted.
12. Enjoy your CAD U1 USB Recording Microphone.
Mac OSX recognition instructions
1. Plug the U1 into the USB port on the computer.
(When using a USB hub, check with the hub manufacturer to
be sure the hub supports a device such as a microphone. Plug
the U1 directly into the computer’s powered USB port for
optimal performance.)
2. Allow 30 to 60 seconds for the system software to recognize
the U1.
3. Go to the Apple Menu and locate “System Preferences”.
4. Under “Hardware” click on the “Sound” icon.

Audio Device”.

6. Click on the “Output” button and choose the internal speakers
or the output speakers of your choice. (The “Sound playback”
should remain your usual sound output device).
7. Position the U1 4 to 6 inches away from your source (your
mouth or music instrument).
8. Test the U1 by speaking or playing into the microphone.
9. You will see activity in the “Input Level” meter.
10. As you are speaking or playing adjust the “Input Volume”
slider. Take care not to allow the signal to go beyond the
meter, if the meter is fully illuminated the sound can become
distorted. The meter should be illuminated 3/4ths of the way
to obtain the best sound quality.
11. Close the System Preferences window to complete the
settings.
12. Launch your audio recording software.
13. Position the U1 approximately 4 to 6 inches from the sound
source for best results.
14. Locate the Preferences in your audio program and select the
“C-Media USB Audio Device”. Adjust the input level in this
program so that the audio signal is strong but not distorted.
15. Enjoy your CAD U1 USB Recording Microphone.
