Frequently Asked Questions - Arturia AudioFuse 8 Pre User Manual

8. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does it matter what I plug into the front/rear connectors for channels 1 and 2?
1.
No. Changes can be made quickly from the front panel or the AFCC, so you can
connect any type of musical device to the front and/or the rear connectors using
the appropriate cables.
Should I turn off phantom power before disconnecting a microphone?
2.
Yes. When you do this, the switching logic of the AudioFuse 8Pre will
automatically mute the channel for a few seconds to prevent any loud pops
when you unplug the microphone. The same thing happens when switching on
the phantom power: the AudioFuse 8Pre will mute the channel for a few seconds,
long enough to stabilize the microphone's internal voltages and avoid loud pops
through your monitor speakers.
Can I use phantom power with a ribbon microphone?
3.
Warning: Do not use the 48V / phantom power button with a ribbon microphone
unless you have confirmed with the manufacturer that it is OK to do so. There is
danger that your ribbon microphone could be damaged or destroyed if you try
to use it with phantom power.
Can I use the AudioFuse 8Pre with a USB hub?
4.
It's okay to use a USB hub to connect the AudioFuse 8Pre to your computer, but
we do not recommend using the embedded USB hub of another audio device
such as the AudioFuse. This can lead to channel identification issues.
How do I turn off the AudioFuse 8Pre?
5.
Hold down the A button for 5 seconds and the AudioFuse 8Pre will power down.
How do I reset the AudioFuse 8Pre?
6.
To perform a factory reset, hold down the Mono button while powering up the
unit.
Why is my AudioFuse 8Pre missing from my audio device list in my DAW and
7.
my computer? This will happen when the AudioFuse 8Pre is in ADAT mode. It
will reappear when the unit is in USB mode. Note: the AFCC can still control the
AudioFuse 8Pre whether it is in USB mode or ADAT mode.
