Class compliant operation under OS X
The MicroBook IIc is a USB audio class
compliant device, so OS X will recognize
it as a simple 4-input, 6-output audio
interface, even without the MicroBook
drivers installed. When operating in this
mode, the MicroBook can be used as a
simple audio interface (with no mixing or
processing) with any Mac audio software.
However, it is still recommended that you
run the software installer, so that you can
take full advantage of all the professional
features offered by the MicroBook.

interface to your PC and turn it on, it is
