CONNECT TO PC

The mini-USB connector on the rear panel not only provides pow er to the internal
battery charger, but is indeed also a digital interface to a PC providing both an
external audio device (when Parrot is switched on) and a mass storage device
(when Parrot is switched off).

USB audio

The Parrot introduces itself to a USB-
host (e.g. a PC) as an external audio-
card and can be used as such when
the Parrot is switched on.
The PC can be seen as an audio input towards the headphones on the Parrot, with
this audio-card functionality. So while editing some audio on a notebook, the result
can be monitored on your own professional headphones. The mix of your own input
signal and that returned from the PC is made with the MIX level adjuster (see
section3.3).
The signals generated on the Parrot (i.e. mic/line input and playback) are sent
towards the PC so that it can for instance be used to insert into the item you
creating with an audio editing program.
