ou must install drivers in order for Conectiv to operate properly. Please consult the included Quick Start Guide for
installation instructions.
Once the drivers are installed, you may need to configure your audio software to route signals to and from Conectiv. Refer to
your program’s user guide to learn how to do this.
Note: Windows XP and Mac OS X will recognize the Conectiv interface as a generic USB audio device if it is connected
before you install the drivers. Operation without drivers is not recommended because some of Conectiv’s features will not be
accessible in this mode. If you have already connected the interface to your computer, make sure to unplug it before beginning
with the driver installation.
