CONNECTING THE MICROPHONE
The USB microphone is a Plug and Play device, which means that there are no
drivers to install. The first time you plug the microphone into your computer, it will
automatically install all the necessary driver components and will be ready to use
immediately.
When you first connect the microphone, you
will see a few screens similar to the one on
the left.
Once the installation is
complete, you will see the
screen on the left:
Your microphone is now ready to be used.
Please note: If you subsequently connect the microphone to a different USB port,
this procedure may be repeated. This is normal.
