Problems with Simultaneous Playback/Recording
An error message appears when recording and playing back simultaneously.
This may occur due to data transfer limitations if your computer is using a USB 1.1 connection. It may
not be possible to play back, or simultaneously record and play back, content at the highest bit rate
and/or frequency supported. Select lower bit depth and sampling rates for reduced CPU consumption
and lower USB bandwidth requirements. Select lower settings if you encounter performance problems
or if you run out of USB bandwidth. Lower sampling and bit depth rates, however, usually result in lower
audio quality.
This should not be a problem if you are using a USB 2.0 connection.
Tips to Improve Your Recording Quality
The BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro allows you to configure various audio settings to enhance your
recording experience. You may toggle between the pre-configured microphone settings or adjust the
audio configurations, such as microphone input volume, microphone equalizer, microphone boost, etc.
Restore Factory Default Settings
To reset your device to the factory default settings, press the Scout Mode button together with the
Volume Control knob for 5 seconds and then release. All settings and configurations made previously
on your device will be erased.
