CONFIGURING WINDOWS VISTA TO WORK WITH THE USB MICROPHONE

Note: Before using the microphone with Windows Vista, please download and install the ASIO4ALL driver. This will allow you to record in stereo. Installing this driver is quick and easy:

1.Go to www.asio4all.com.

2.Click on the latest ASIO4ALL driver to download it.

3.Once you have downloaded the file, locate and double-click it to begin the installation.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

1.With no programs or windows open, click

on Start Settings Control Panel.

2.In the window that opens, find and double-click the Sound control panel. (If you don’t see a choice called “Sound”, choose the Switch to Classic View option in the panel on the left of the window, and the Sound Control Panel should become available on the right.)

3.Select the Recording tab at the top of the Sound Control Panel.

4.Under the Recording tab, choose Microphone - USB Audio Codec as the default device. The USB Audio Codec represents your microphone.

5.Click on Properties and under the Advanced tab, select “2 Channel” to record in stereo. (We recommend “44100Hz – CD Quality”.)

6.Click on the Set Default button to confirm your choice.

7.Click Apply if possible, then click OK to close the Control Panel.

8.Make sure that your computer’s speakers (if not built-in) are plugged into your computer’s audio output and turned on so you can hear your recording. If your

computer has a headphone output, you can use headphones in-place of speakers.
