Aphex Microphone X - Manual (Page 7)

Owner’s Manual

Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio
outputs to be the USB port to which Microphone X is connected.
To verify this, go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >
Sound > Manage Audio Devices and ensure that “Default Playback”
and “Recording” are set to Microphone X.
Some DAWs will not launch the Microphone X control panel. Access it
from the Windows system tray in the lower right of your screen.
USB CONNECTION
The Microphone X has a single USB port on the bottom. Once the
software installation is complete, simply connect the Microphone X to
your computer using the USB cable provided. You MUST connect the
Microphone X directly to your computer and NOT to a USB hub.
AUDIO SETUP IN YOUR DAW
Microphone X is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that
supports ASIO and any Mac-based DAW that uses Core Audio. After
installing the drivers and connecting the hardware, you can start
using the Microphone X with the DAW of your choice.
You must manually select “Microphone X” (on Mac-based systems)
or “Aphex ASIO” (on PC-based systems) as the driver on your DAW’s
Audio Setup page. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation for
information on where to select the ASIO or Core Audio driver.
Once the Microphone X is set as the preferred Audio Device in your DAW,
the following inputs and outputs will be available: INPUT = Front Left,
OUTPUTS = Front Left and Front Right. You will need to enable the
inputs and outputs before use.
NOTES to Pro Tools 9, 10 and 11 users:
When switching to Microphone X from another interface, you must
have that interface connected when launching Pro Tools for the first
time with Microphone X connected. Once Pro Tools has recognized
Microphone X, the other interface may be left connected or discon-
nected. Pro Tools will not launch properly if the interface it is expecting
is not connected.
