12.Mic In (Channel 1): This is an XLR Balanced preamp input for microphones. Mic In preamp gain is controlled by the top panel “Mic Gain” control.This input also gets defeated if the Aux Input is plugged in, and the Monitor/Record button is pressed to the “Record” position.
13.Direct Monitor Stereo/Mono Switch:When this switch is set to Stereo, Channel 1 goes to the left output (Output 1) and Channel 2 goes to the right output (Output 2)—as in a stereo signal panned hard left and hard right. When this switch is set to Mono, both input channels are passed to both output channels in Mono, or panned to the center.This switch will not affect the signal that is being recorded, but only the signal you are monitoring.
14.Phantom Power Switch:When this switch is pressed to the “in” position, the front panel Phantom Power indicator will light and 48V will be sent to the Mic In (Channel 1) to power a condenser microphone.
M-Audio Ozone Driver Installation
Your computer communicates with devices contained within the M-Audio Ozone, the audio and MIDI interfaces for example, via software files known as “drivers.” This driver software is a special, dedicated program that makes the audio or MIDI interface accessible to an application program. On the included driver disk, M-Audio supplies the audio and MIDI drivers that enable you to use M-Audio Ozone with Windows, Mac OS9 or Mac OSX. These M-Audio Ozone drivers are supplied on the dual format CD included.
Driver Installation for Windows
The drivers for the M-Audio Ozone USB interface require Windows 98SE or higher. Please make sure that Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP is installed on your system, and that your USB port is enabled. Check your computer manual for more information.
To verify your Windows installation after you have carefully followed these instructions, you may check your system’s “Device Manager,” located in the Control Panel under “System” (in Windows 2000 or XP, also click the “Hardware” tab after clicking “Device Manager”). If you look in the Device Manager, you will find components for the M-Audio Ozone driver in two sections; once under the “Universal Serial Bus” controller group, and also under the “Sound, video, & game controllers” group, where drivers are displayed as follows:
Windows 2000 and XP show two M-Audio Ozone drivers under Sound, video, game controllers—“Ozone” and “Ozone MIDI.”
Windows Me and Windows 98SE show three M-Audio Ozone drivers under Sound, video and game controllers—“Ozone,” “Ozone MIDI” and “Ozone MIDI (VxD).”
