CONNECTION DIAGRAM

AUDIO SETUP

The M101USB is a class-compliant device that can be used with any digital audio workstation or recording software that supports USB audio. To enable your M101USB to send and receive audio to and from your computer, follow the instructions below for your computer's operating system:

Be sure your audio software program is set up to receive audio via the M101USB. This can usually be done in your software's "Preferences" or "Device Setup." Please consult your software manual for more information.
* If you have other USB audio devices connected to your computer, which may have identical names, you may need to try selecting each one until the M101USB is recognized.
By default, Windows 7 and Vista users will not hear their computers' system sounds when playing or recording audio with M101USB because Windows' "Exclusive Mode" is already activated. However, if you want to use M101USB as your sound card with several different software programs, we recommend disabling "Exclusive Mode." To do this, follow Steps 1-6 of the setup instructions, then uncheck both boxes under "Exclusive Mode."

REAR PANEL FEATURES

1. POWER SWITCH – Turns the mixer on and off.
   Turn on the mixer after all input devices have been connected and before you turn on amplifiers. Turn off amplifiers before you turn off the mixer.
2. AC IN – Use the included power adapter to connect the mixer to a power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the power supply into the mixer first, then plug the power supply into a power outlet.
   Note: The mixer is designed to work with the included power supply only. Using an incompatible power supply could result in damage to the unit.
3. MASTER OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a speaker or amplifier system. The level of this output is controlled by the MASTER knob on the top panel.
4. LINE INPUTS (RCA) – Connect line-level devices, such as CD players, samplers or audio interfaces, to these inputs.
5. PHONO INPUTS (RCA) – Connect phono-level devices, such as turntables, to these inputs.
6. USB – Connect this USB port to to a free USB port on your computer using a standard USB cable (sold separately). When Channel 2's INPUT SELECTOR is set to "USB," any audio playing on your computer will be sent over Channel 2. When Channel' 2's INPUT SELECTOR is set to "LINE" or "PHONO," M101USB's Program mix will be sent to your computer (for recording, monitoring, etc.). Please see USB OPERATION for more information.
7. GROUNDING TERMINAL – If you are using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low "hum" or "buzz", this could mean that your turntables are not grounded.
   Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.
