seen below.
9. Choose “Install software automatically” and click “Next.”
10. Once the Wizard is completed, click “Finish.” Since there may be two components to the device driver installations that

with another “Found New Hardware” Wizard. In this event, go back to step 10 and repeat the process.

hardware is installed and ready to use.”

Connecting Your Equipment to the USB Audio Series Interface
< Each member of the USB Audio series interfaces has at least two outputs which can serve a number of purposes.
Regardless of the number of available outputs on your particular device, Outs 1 & 2 will always serve as your default
left and right outputs. Please connect Outs 1 & 2 to the left and right channels, respectively, of your speakers, mixer,
or other monitoring system.
< You may also connect a pair of headphones to the headphone jack on the front of the unit (if available on your model)
allowing for monitoring or pre-listening in private.
< The inputs on the USB Audio interface accept line-level signals, such as those from keyboards, mixers, and CD
players. Some of the USB Audio interfaces also feature 1⁄4” and XLR jacks which will accept instrument and mic level
signals for recording from sources such as vocal microphones, guitars, and basses.
For more detailed information and an explanation of all available inputs and outputs, including digital formats, please refer
to your product’s User Manual located on the USB Audio Driver CD.

Using the USB Audio Interface Control Panel
The Control Panel for each USB Audio interface is unique, so refer to your product’s User Manual located on the Driver CD.
By default, the Control Panel will be set to offer output at the most common sampling rates. You’ll only have to change these
settings if you are having problems or need to adjust recording parameters differently for your needs.
For a full account of all Control Panel routings and functions, refer to the User Manual for your product located on the USB
Audio Driver CD.
