Additional Equipment You Will Need; Setting Up The Art Usb Dual Pre In Window - BLUE SKY AUDIO MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER Manual

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED

The Blue Sky SRO program uses an inexpensive USB audio interface and measurement
microphone to generate test tones and measure the frequency response of the speakers attached
to the AMC.
You will need the following:
1. Measurement microphone - the recommended choices are the Dayton Audio EMM-6 or
Behringer ECM8000. However, it is possible to use other high quality other measurement
microphones, but the above are known to work fine, and are relatively inexpensive.
2. USB Interface - the ART USB Dual PRE is the recommended USB audio interface used for
measurement. It is an inexpensive system with dual microphone preamps, dual audio
outputs, operates at 48 kHz and has a phantom power supply for the measurement
microphones. It uses the built-in driver for windows.
3. Microphone stand.
4. 2 - 1/4" TRS- to XLR male microphone cables. One can be short (1.5 ft) for the loop back
connection and one should be long enough to connect to the speaker.
5. XLR microphone cable for the measurement microphone
