USB OPERATION
The M6 USB is equipped with a USB port which allows you to play content from your computer through the
mixer, or record audio from the mixer directly into your favorite software application. The USB interface on
your mixer works with your computer just like a standard USB sound card. In addition, the USB interface is
class-compliant, so there are no special drivers or software to install; simply connect a USB cable from the
USB port to your computer and you are ready to go!

Be sure your audio software program is

This can usually be done in your
software's "Preferences" or "Device
Setup." Please consult your software
manual for more information.
* If you have other USB audio devices
connected to your computer, which may
have identical names, you may need to
try selecting each one until the M6 USB
is recognized.
If you experience too much latency
after adjusting your software latency
settings, we recommend the free
ASIO4ALL (Audio Stream Input/Output)
driver for PC at www.asio4all.com
.
ASIO drivers generally perform better
and with lower latency since they create
a more efficient communication
between audio devices and software.
