For whichever input channel you have the Caller connected to, turn the
corresponding Aux control to minimum (usually hard left). All other Aux
controls should be set for what you want to send to the phone line. Each
Aux Send bus is completely separate from all other outputs, so these Aux
controls will not affect what is heard on the Main outputs or on any other
Aux buses. This Aux Send bus should be pre-fader, so you can use the
fader controls to set the levels of each channel to the main output.

FAQs
? Why does my laptop only record half of the conversation? I
am using the Stereo output on the Universal Host and I
have a stereo cable.
! Most laptop computers only have a mic input, which is mono.
You should use the USB connector instead for stereo operation.
? How do I record onto my computer and edit the files?
! If your computer does not already have something, you will
need to purchase or download any audio editing software of
your choice to record and edit audio files. You may also need to
adjust some settings in the audio configuration files on your
computer or in your software to allow recording in stereo.
? Does Universal Host come with any Talk Show software?
! No, our description "Turn your PBX into a low cost talk show
system" pertains to using a multi-line PBX phone system as a
line selector switch. When the Universal Host is on line, simply
select which phone line you want to talk to, either dropping the
last caller, or putting them back on hold.
? Do I need any software drivers for the USB interface?
! No, the USB interface is plug and play compatible.
? Why is there a Send 2 mini-jack on the back of my Universal
Host?
! This is a second line level input to Universal Host. Here you can
connect another device, such as a CD player or the output of
your personal audio player to add audio to the conversation.
This enables you to play background music or other sound bites
during your discussion. Do not connect a microphone to this
jack. This is a mono input. If you connect a stereo output here
such as a Line Out from your audio player, you will receive only
Left channel audio on this jack.
? Why is there a loud hum on the output of my Universal
Host, even when nothing else is connected?
! Make certain you are using the regulated power supply that was
shipped with this unit. Power supplies are not all the same.
