Introduction; Features; Computer Connection (Usb Model) - Phonic AM642D Manual Del Usuario

Introduction

Thank you for choosing one of Phonic's many
quality compact mixers. The brand new AM642D,
AM642DP and AM642D USB mixers – designed
by the ingenious engineers that have created a
variety of mixers fantastic in style and performance
in the past – display similar proficiency that previous
Phonic products have shown; with more than a few
refinements, of course. Featuring full gain ranges,
amazingly low distortion levels, and incredibly wide
dynamic ranges, these amazing mixers are bound to
make a big splash in the world of mixing.
We know how eager you are to get started – wanting
to get the mixer out and hook it all up is probably your
number one priority right now – but before you do, we
strongly urge you to take a look through this manual.
Inside, you will find important facts and figures on the
set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer.
If you do happen to be one of the many people who
flatly refuse to read user manuals, then we just urge
you to at least glance at the Instant Setup section.
After glancing at or reading through the manual (we
applaud you if you do read the entire manual), please
store it in a place that is easy for you to find, because
chances are there's something you missed the first
time around.

Computer Connection (USB Model)

By simply connecting the USB cable provided along
with your AM642D USB to the device and your
Personal Computer or Laptop, you are able to send
CD quality (16-bit stereo, with a 44.1 kHz sampling
rate) signal to and from your mixer. By doing this, you
are actually 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 Workstation (DAW) software to record the
signal from the AM mixer. You can also set the mixer
as your default audio device.
The USB interface also returns the audio signal from
your computer back to the 2T Returns, the signal of
which is controlled by the 2T / USB Return control. If
there are input signals from both the USB interface
and the 2T Return, the two signals are combined and
controlled simultaneously by the 2T return control.
Windows

7. If you don't want to use the AM642D USB 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.
8. Be sure to set your minimum buffer settings to 64
samples as to avoid clicks and pops.
