Connecting the FlashMic

When connecting the FlashMic to the computer running FlashMic Manager, always ensure the FlashMic is powered and in IDLE mode first.

Connect to the computer with the USB cable supplied.

When the FlashMic is “recognised”, the FlashMic Manager window will display the parameter values of the currently-selected preset in the FlashMic itself*. The Current Config file: filename will show “File in DRM is ‘xxx.cfg’”, where ‘xxx’ is the name of the configuration currently loaded into the FlashMic, and the Select Preset box will be set to zero. The status bar will confirm that FlashMic Manager is now displaying the FlashMic’s internal settings with the message “Current active preset settings on DRM”.

*On connecting the FlashMic, a standard USB connection window (titled ‘DRM’ in this case) may open offering various options; click Cancel to dismiss this window.

Note that connecting the FlashMic to the computer will always attempt to ‘force’ FlashMic Manager to display the FlashMic’s internal settings, and that this operation will overwrite any other data. If unsaved preset data is already displayed, a prompt message to Save the current data will be displayed on connecting the FlashMic.

Hint: Saving the settings held in the FlashMic to a new configuration file allows you to copy one FlashMic’s settings to other FlashMic’s, or to a different computer.
