CONFIGURING WINDOWS VISTA TO WORK WITH THE USB MICROPHONE
1. With no programs or windows open, click
on Start Settings Control Panel.
2. In the window that opens, find and
double-click the Sound control panel. (If
you don’t see a choice called “Sound”,
choose the Switch to Classic View
option in the panel on the left of the
window, and the Sound Control Panel
should become available on the right.)
3. Select the Recording tab at the top of the
Sound Control Panel.
4. Under the Recording tab, choose
Microphone - USB Audio Codec as the
default device. The USB Audio Codec
represents your microphone.
5. Click on Properties and under the
Advanced tab, select “2 Channel” to
record in stereo. (We recommend
“44100Hz – CD Quality”.)
6. Click on the Set Default button to confirm
your choice.
7. Click Apply if possible, then click OK to
close the Control Panel.
8. Make sure that your computer’s speakers
(if not built-in) are plugged into your
computer’s audio output and turned on so
you can hear your recording. If your
computer has a headphone output, you can use headphones in-place of speakers.
Note: Before using the microphone with Windows Vista, please download and install the ASIO4ALL
driver. This will allow you to record in stereo. Installing this driver is quick and easy:

2. Click on the latest ASIO4ALL driver to download it.
3. Once you have downloaded the file, locate and double-click it to begin the installation.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.
