The USB connector allows you to directly connect a computer by using a USB (AB type) or RS-232C cable. By
connecting a USB cable to the PC, you can enable the input and output of the transmission and reception of sound.
You must use the ARUA-10 software, available at the following URL, to control the USB audio system line of the
PC. (The virtual COM port driver can also be downloaded from the following URL.)

◆
The USB cable and RS-232C cable are not included; purchase them separately.
◆ Connect the USB cable directly to the PC.

audio system in cases where you are recording communications that do not require quick responses to a PC.
