INTRODUCTION The USB-DI Project Series is a high quality Digital to Analog Convertor for connecting a computer to a stereo or PA system. It takes in USB audio, converts it to analog audio and then isolates the output using custom transformers. The output isolation is key to removing ground loops and other system noise between the digital and analog audio systems.

The USB port is USB 2.0 compliant and should be used to connect directly to one of the USB connections on your computer. This connection also powers the USB circuitry inside the USB-DI Project Series. To your computer this connec- tion looks like a “USB Audio DAC” and your computer then controls the sample rate.
The same settings may need to be made in your particular audio application as well (Check your application instructions). These settings should be made while the USB-DI Project Series and computer are connected. LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTS Connect the line level XLR OUTPUT jacks to all sorts of systems using analog inputs.
Your computer audio output “Speaker” is now set to be the “USB Audio DAC” and playback audio is routed to the USB-DI Project Series. This must be done while the USB-DI Project Series is connected to the computer and powered on.
