Thank you for choosing the SynchroScience Conectiv USB audio interface. Conectiv takes advantage of the convenience and dependability of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) to provide you with a versatile interface that can be used both live on stage and in the studio. The interface’s sleek, lightweight, and portable design makes it the perfect travel companion for active computer-based DJs, musicians, and producers. Conectiv attaches to your Mac or PC with a single USB cable and eliminates the need to open your computer to install any cards. Since the interface draws power from the host computer, it requires no
external power. This means you can easily record and mix from anywhere.
Conectiv was created with the software-based DJ, producer, and artist in mind. With its high quality components, flexible audio routing, and easy-to-use interface, Conectiv perfectly complements your computer’s DJ or recording software. The unit lets you simultaneously record four input channels (two stereo pairs) while playing back four output channels. Conectiv’s 1⁄4” and RCA inputs support mic, line, and phono levels, respectively; allowing you to connect any dynamic microphone, line level source (such as CD or MP3 players) or turntable. The USB interface carries audio signals to and from your computer with minimal latency and the high-powered headphone output lets DJs and live performers hear their work in even the noisiest clubs and stages. All of these features come together to make Conectiv the perfect tool for recording, producing, and performing your musical works.
Even if you’re an experienced DJ, musician, or digital recording enthusiast, please take a moment to read through this User Guide and familiarize yourself with Conectiv’s unique features. You may also want to refer to your audio software’s documentation to better understand how Conectiv can be integrated with the application. Your experience and enjoyment with Conectiv will be greatly enhanced by a good working knowledge of your equipment.
Your Conectiv interface comes bundled with SynchroScience Torq, an advanced DJ software application designed to integrate seamlessly with Conectiv. While you are free to use this interface with any ASIO- or Core Audio-compatible software, this guide uses Torq for some of the illustrations and examples. It is therefore recommended that you install Torq so you can follow along with the examples in this guide.
