CONFIGURING YOUR DAW
Below are some tips on configuring your DAW to work with the speakers.
PLAYBACK
You may need to make sure that the speakers are enabled as an audio output device in your DAW, if you have not set them to be the default system audio output. This is usually done in the application’s Preferences dialog.
RECORDING
As you may have noticed, there are several inputs on the rear panel of the left speaker. These inputs allow you to record external sound sources directly into your computer. Note that the three sets of inputs are summed together before entering your computer as a stereo track. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that the volume of the input signal does not clip when using multiple external devices simultaneously.
To record from the inputs, make sure that the speakers are enabled as an audio input device in your DAW. This is usually done in the application’s Preferences dialog.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that software monitoring is turned off when recording from external sound sources. Otherwise, you may get feedback and distortion. To turn off
monitoring on the recording channel, you can simply mute the channel in your software.
