, simply plug it into a
USB socket and the LED on the unit should light
up, indicating that it’s powered. The Windows or
Mac operating system will automatically detect
the device and inform you when it’s ready to use.
The Micro II’s .mm stereo analog output jack
can be used to connect headphones and powered
speakers. Once the Micro II is set up, as described
below, you can use headphones or speakers by
plugging them into the jack.
Inserting the included TOSLINK adapter into the
jack converts it to an optical digital output. This
adapter works with a standard optional fiber optic
cable (available at www.Turtlebeach.com) to
connect external digital devices to the Micro II.
If your Mac or PC/laptop has more than one USB
socket, you should always try to use the same
socket for plugging in the Micro II. This will assure
that it will always be recognized as the same
device by the operating system.
PLEASE NOTE: Some USB hubs may have problems
providing a consistent data stream for digital
audio and may cause data stream packet loss. This
could result in clicks or distortions on the USB
audio from the Micro II.
If you experience this problem when the Micro II is
connected to your USB hub, do not use the hub
and instead connect the Micro II directly to the
USB port on your Mac or PC/laptop.
