Before you begin, there are a few general rules
of thumb that we recommend you follow:
• Always turn both the Main and Phones knobs on the
front panel down before making connections.
• Before plugging or unplugging a microphone or
engaging phantom power, make sure the trim level
has been turned all the way down for that channel.
•
Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch the clip LEDs;
when these LEDs turn red, they are indicating that
the analog-to-digital converters are being overdriven.
Overdriving the converters will cause digital distortion,
which sounds terrible and cannot be undone.
• Your studio equipment should be powered
on in the following order:
A. Sound sources (guitars, microphones, etc.)
B. AudioBox USB and computer
C. Power amplifiers or powered monitors
connected to the AudioBox inputs
When it's time to power down, your system
should be turned off in the reverse order.
Now that you know what not to do,
let's get some audio going!
