Important - Probox d8b User Manual

Probox user manual

2 Important

Please read this carefully to avoid damage and problems with your ProBox or d8b.
!!! Keep Boot order. First Computer, after bootup and logon power d8b, when
welcome screen (DAW offline) on display appears the start DAW software !!!
!!! Never connect both USB ports at the same time !!!
This can cause a damage to the ProBox or your computer via the power supply domain.
Use the Monitor Controller Section carefully. Too much level (loudness) on the Phone Output can injure your
ears.
As the ProBox simulates the Mackie MCU/XT the Probox will have all issues that a Mackie MCU/XT will have
with your DAW software. If you have problems I will help you, but please don't except a fix if it is a MCU related
problem. I will not be able to fix that as it is not in my technical responsibility.
On Logic (and maybe other DAW programs) you might not have the full Fader range (Logic stops at +6dB). This
is not a bug of the probox, Logic doiesn't send a wider range, to ensure that the level displayed in Logic fits to
the marks beside the Fader. A Fader calibration will not solve this issur.
The drivers for windows 7, Mac and Linux are OS drivers. So I'm not able to do any updates on that. The ProBox
is tested with these OS types and there were no issues found. If something will pop up on driver site we have to
wait for driver updates. By the way, I found out that the real Mackie MCU Pro (USB Version) uses the same
drivers.
The HUI mode emulates 3 HUIs in parallel. Protools seperates some functions on the three single HUI controller.
E.g. you can use the multi select option when pressing the channel select button, keep it pressed and press a
second one. These two channels will be selected. Protools only accepts this function per HUI unit. That means
this works only in groups of channel 1-8, 9-16, 17-24.
