4.1 Operation of the USB connector

Use the USB cable, which is included, to connect the iAXE624 USB-Guitar to your computer. The USB unit of the iAXE624 USB- Guitar is bus powered—no separate power supply is needed. The blue LED below the USB connector ( ) lights up and the system will indicate the connection of a USB audio unit.

Connect your headphones to the PHONES-connector on the guitar, which is located directly above the USB-connector. If you don’t want to use your headphones, you can also connect a pair of active monitors to the PHONES-connector—the BEHRINGER MONITOR SPEAKERS MS16 as well as the DIGITAL MONITOR SPEAKERS MS20 and MS40 are a perfect choice for this application. If you own a mixing console, you can do the following: connect a stereo input of the mixing console to the PHONES- connector and the active monitors to the control room outputs of the mixing console.

Instead of using the USB function of the guitar, you can also use the guitar the same way as a conventional electric guitar. To do so, simply connect the ¼" TS connector ( ) to a guitar amp instrument input. This gives you the opportunity to play without a computer, for example, when jamming with your band.

The conventional guitar output works independently from the USB connector, meaning you can simultaneously play via the USB port and a guitar amp. This way, you can set up a means of direct monitoring to avoid latency problems.

The advantage of this setup is that while listening to the sound coming from your guitar amp, you can record a clean guitar sound.

Using plug-ins, you can experiment with different effects and amplifiers afterwards.

4.3Using the iAXE624 with a

BEHRINGER V-AMP

If you're in need of latency-free monitoring during multitrack recording, then the BEHRINGER V-AMP is the ideal partner for your iAXE624. Make the connections as follows :

-Connect your iAXE624 to the V-AMP's instrument input using a standard instrument cable.

-Connect the iAXE624's headphone output to the V-AMP's aux input using a balanced cable with stereo phone jacks.

This allows you to use the V-AMP's aux level control to adjust the playback volume.

To record the guitar, connect your iAXE624 to the computer using the USB cable. You can set up your prefered monitoring sound on the V-AMP and record the dry, unprocessed guitar sound on your computer. For this purpose you should use a sequencing software, for example the program Kristal which can be found on the CD-ROM included with the iAXE624 package.
