The Hardware page provides access to various hardware and driver settings and information.
Sample Rate Detected – This is a display-only value which shows the current incoming sample rate, per settings provided by
your host computer and DAW software.
ASIO/WDM Buffer Size (Windows only) – In this fi eld, you can select the buffer size you wish to work with. Smaller
buffer sizes result in lower latency (the time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the
outputs), but may not function well with slower systems. The default buffer size setting is 256. This setting may adequately serve
your purposes, but if you wish, you can experiment with lower settings. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your audio
playback, try using a larger buffer size.
NOTE: On the Mac, buffer size adjustment is set within your DAW software.
Core Audio Device Settings (Mac OS X only) – The NRV10 can be supported as two different types of devices under
Mac OS X: a single multi-channel device, or a set of multiple stereo pair devices.
Checking the “show NRV10 stereo pairs as devices” box will confi gure the NRV10 as a set of multiple stereo pair devices.
Unchecking this box will confi gure the NRV10 as a single multi-input device.
