REAR PANEL

USB Connection

Connect the USB cable to the appropriate computer (digital USB) device and
then to the USB connector on the

USB-DI

Project Series

.

Once the USB connection is made and your computer is on, the unit will auto-
matically connect and try to set your computer “Default Audio Device” to be “USB
Audio DAC”. Usually the computer will do this automatically whenever a USB
device is first connected, but it is sometimes necessary to make the selection
manually. The same settings may need to be made in your particular audio
application as well (Check your application instructions). These settings should
be made while the

USB-DI

Project Series

and computer are connected.

LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTS

Connect the line level XLR OUTPUT jacks to all sorts of systems using analog
inputs.
