CONCERT CDP2400USB User Manual
The USB audio input returning from the computer is not affected
by the CDP2400USB's sound generator or effects engine, and goes
directly to the LINE OUT jacks, PHONES jacks and internal speakers.
The VOLUME control and SPEAKERS OFF button only affect the
PHONES and speakers.
6.4.2 USB audio and MIDI settings
When you connect the CDP2400USB to your computer for the first
time, you will likely need to perform certain setup procedures in
your software to ensure proper audio and MIDI interface. Once
the USB cable is connected, the computer will recognize two
different USB devices: Audio and MIDI. This example will use the
included energyXT2.5 Compact software, but most recording and
sequencing programs use a similar procedure.
NOTE: PC users are encouraged to install the ASIO driver for low-
latency USB connection. The driver is included on the DVD. Mac
computers do not require any additional drivers to achieve low-
latency operation.
Follow these steps to connect the CDP2400USB to your computer.
1. Connect the included USB cable to the CDP2400USB and to a
free USB port on your computer.
2. Your computer should automatically recognize the USB audio
and MIDI connection. If so, you may continue to the software
setup. If not, you must manually select the audio and MIDI
connections.
3. If using a PC, click on the Start menu and select Control Panel.
4. When the new window opens, select Sounds and Audio
Devices.
5. In the next window, click the Audio tab.
6. Select USB AUDIO DEVICE in the Sound playback, Sound
recording and MIDI music playback menus. Your computer is
now set to send and receive audio and MIDI signals from the
CDP2400USB.
Follow these steps to set up the audio connection in your music
software.
1. Open energyXT2.5 Compact BEHRINGER Edition.
2. Click the 'File' tab and select 'Setup. '

select the 'BEHRINGER USB Audio' driver.

6. In the 'Record' menu, select '16-bit. '
7. In the 'Audio inputs' menu, select 'USB AUDIO DEVICE. '
8. In the 'Audio outputs' menu, select 'USB AUDIO DEVICE. '
Follow these steps to set up the MIDI connection for the CONCERT.
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
2. Once the Setup window appears, click the 'MIDI' tab.
3. For both MIDI inputs and MIDI outputs, select 'USB AUDIO
DEVICE. '
NOTE: When USB MIDI is connected to the CDP2400USB, it
overrides the MIDI IN and THRU jacks. Only the MIDI OUT jack can
be used in conjunction with USB MIDI.
