Choosing USB Pre Pen as the audio device for your computer
After connecting USB Pre Pen to the computer, a plug & play driver of
the OS is installed: no additional driver installation is required.
However, to record the mic signal in your software, you must set USB
Pre Pen as the input and output device in the system settings. Proceed
as follows:
Windows XP and higher
1) Choose „Settings > Control Panel > Sounds, Speech and Audio
devices".
2) Select „USB audio device" as the input and output device in the
Audio tab.
or
1) Choose „All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume
control > Options".
2) Select „USB audio codec" as the Mixer device.
Mac OS X 10.0 and higher
1) Choose „System Preferences > Sound".
2) Select „USB audio codec" in the „Input" and „Output" tabs.
NOTE: Garage Band users should first launch the application and then
connect USB Pre Pen. By this, the USB interface is automatically selected.
Operation
Connect a microphone to the XLR socket of USB Pre Pen. For a con-
denser microphone turn on the +48 button. If needed, you can secure
USB Pre Pen to a microphone stand using the supplied straps. Point
the microphone towards the audio source and turn up the MIC GAIN
knob so that the level LED lights permanently green and flashes yel-
low for signal peaks. If the LED lights red, turn down MIC GAIN.
Connect USB Pre Pen to a free USB port of your computer or laptop
using the supplied USB cable. Next, the plug & play driver is automati-
cally installed and the USB LED lights green.
NOTE: The USB port of your computer / laptop must provide bus pow-
er. If the power of the port is too low, you must use an active USB hub.
The phone jack provides direct monitoring of the mic signal during
recording without any latency. If you are monitoring the mic signal via
the computer, there is, however, an audible latency.
