USB Interface (only Gnome-i and Gnome-i Pro)
The Warwick Gnome-i and Gnome-i Pro amplifiers feature an USB audio interface that can be used as a universal
connection device for PC, MAC or compatible mobile devices without any specific drivers or software
requirements. The interface uses high quality ADC/DAC converters to convert your audio signal to be processed
with the many applications available or for direct recording in your DAW. In addition, the USB audio interface
gives you the ability to convert digital audio signals back to analog signals and play them through your amplifier
by using the speaker output. Gnome-i and Gnome-i Pro are functioning as external soundcards for your mobile
device or PC/Mac, converting your instrument's signal into a digital audio signal. The interface section is
compatible with any USB device that can manage digital audio signals, via a standard USB-B to USB-A cable.
Setup a Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 Device
1. Use an USB-B to USB-A cable to connect the amplifier to your computer.
2. Your computer will recognize the interface automatically and set all parameters accordingly. If you have
problems with the automatic setup, open the sound settings (right-click on the Windows Start button >
Control Panel > Sound).
