Installation Manual for Windows 98 SE
The phono PreAmp Studio USB does not need any special drivers to function. All it needs is
the standard USB drivers, which are an integrated component of the operating system. You
only have to carry out a couple of steps to begin using your phono PreAmp Studio USB right
away. If you have never used any USB devices on your system before, have your Windows 98
SE CD ready, because the installation might call for it.
Boot up your computer as usual. With the computer running, connect the provided cable into
your phono PreAmp Studio USB and then plug it into a USB port on your computer. With Win-
dows 98 SE, the “Add new Hardware Wizard” launches automatically and detects the new
hardware. Simply confirm by clicking “Next”.
Uncheck all of the locations suggested for searching for drivers (and do not select the Terratec
CD, since it does NOT contain any drivers). The operating system will locate the standard USB
driver independently of its location.
Various operating system files may have to be installed and, if so, you may be prompted to
insert your Windows installation CD into the drive. Insert the CD and continue by clicking
“Next”. You can run though all remaining steps by clicking “Next” and “Finish”. The device is
now ready to use.
You can verify whether the device was installed correctly in the “Device Manager”
(Start\Settings\Control Panel\System – Device Manager). The device is listed there twice:
once under “Sound, video and game controllers” and again under “Universal Serial Bus Con-
trollers”.

There is just one more step necessary before you begin recording using your new phono Pre-
Amp Studio USB. Open the “Multimedia Properties” (Start\Settings\Control Panel – Multime-
dia) and select the USB audio device as the preferred recording device.
This step is necessary for recording with the phono PreAmp Studio USB. The Sound Rescue
software from Algorithmix included with the phono PreAmp Studio USB uses the preferred
recording device specified here. If at any time you wish to use your normal sound card for
recording, simply undo the change you made in this step. In doing so, there is no need to shut
down or reboot the computer.
