Computer Connection; Tf/Bt Module - Phonic AM5GE Manual Del Usuario

COMPUTER CONNECTION

By simply connecting the USB cable provided along
with your AM GE mixer to the device and your personal
computer or laptop, you are able to send DVD quality
(16-bit stereo, with a 48 kHz sampling rate) signal to
and from your mixer. By doing this, you are turning your
mixer into a highly useful plug'n'play soundcard for your
computer.
The USB sends an audio stream of the Main Left and
Right (record out) signal of your mixer to the computer.
You can use almost any dedicated Digital Audio Work-
station (DAW) software to record the signal from the
mixer. You can also set the mixer as your default audio
device.
The USB interface also returns a stereo audio signal
from your computer back to the 2T RTN/USB mix.
Windows
1. Connect the mixer to the computer via the provid-
ed USB cable.
2. Let Windows find the device and install an appro-
priate driver.
3. Enter the Control Panel and select Sounds and
Audio Devices.
4. When here, go to the Audio tab and select the
"USB Audio Codec" as your default sound record-
ing and playback device.
5. Depending whether you have Windows XP, Vista,
7, 8 or 10, this may differ slightly, but the setting
can always be found within the Control Panel's
audio menu.
6. If you don't want to use the mixer as your default
audio device, you can simply enter your DAW or
other audio program and select it as your default
device in the program only.
7. Be sure to set your minimum buffer settings to 64
samples as to avoid clicks and pops.
Mac
1. Connect the mixer to the computer via the provided
USB cable.
2. Enter the AUDIO MIDI SETUP menu.

output device.

5. Alternatively, enter your DAW software (or other
relevant audio program) and select the "USB Au-
dio Codec" in the device preferences.

TF/BT MODULE (BLUETOOTH SETUP)
1. Select the Bluetooth function through the TF/BT
module.
2. Enter your smartphone or tablet's Bluetooth setup
options to find the "PHONIC" Bluetooth device.
3. If requested, the password for the Bluetooth
function is 0000. Many modern smartphones will
enter this as the default password.
4. Audio signals received through the Bluetooth in-
terface will be routed to the TF/BT channel on the
mixer.
5. To reset the connection, turn your smartphone
or tablet's Bluetooth connection off and then on
again.
6. When using cell phones and tablets, it may be
an idea to turn "Airplane Mode" or "Flight Mode"
on to stop phone calls or push notifications from
interrupting your audio.
Note: Not all modern Bluetooth-enabled devices al-
low for use of external audio playback. In the case of
laptops in particular, Bluetooth may be used for data
