1.2.2 USB input/output
E
Audimax 362 HD / USB has an optional
module that enables receiving and sending audio
connected to a computer with a USB A/B standard
cable.
Connect the unit to any USB port of a computer
running Windows©. When connecting, Windows©
recognizes the USB device and install the drivers.
Additional drivers are not required. Audimax 362HD
will appear on Windows like one stereo USB audio
device and one stereo USB recording device.
To check the available sound devices, go to
“Windows Control Panel > Sound devices > Audio”.
Here the default sound devices are defined.
Remember to update the settings on the audio
applications.
ABOUT USB DETECTION
Before connecting the USB cable to the computer, make sure that
both the console and the computer have an effective ground by
power cords. For safety, connect a tester in the range of 25VAC
between the chassis of the PC and console and verify that the
voltage is zero. Only then connect the USB. If there are differences
of tension, the USB port on the console or the computer may result
damaged.
We recommend do not change the USB cable to other USB ports,
to avoid that Windows change the order of USB devices.
Windows 7 / 8.1,: Check that the audio recording device was
properly recognized. If Windows 7 recognized it as "microphone
device", the recordings will be mono (the same signal in both
channels). To correct this: Control Panel → Sound → Record →
choose the USB device (shown as USB microphone) and click
[Properties]. Then select the tab "Advanced", display the menu of
formatting options and choose a format for stereo recording (2
channels, 16 bits, 44100Hz).
1.3 Modo HD (High Definition)
HD mode is suitable for audio applications where
the stage FM stereo coding (MPX) is not used. It is
an important contribution to the technology as audio
processors can be used in digital radio (HD Radio)
or conventional radios inside the Recording Studio
to record voices. It is also suitable for small AM
radio stations.
The main feature of "HD mode" is that the pre-
emphasis (75/50 microseconds) is disabled,
achieving a brighter treble and rich sound. This
enables the processor to be used in sound
reinforcement installations (small rooms,
auditoriums) in popular music concerts, discos,
sound systems in malls, etc.
In HD mode, the processor connects using the
audio outputs (balanced or USB).
When the unit is set to HD mode:
•
Pre-emphasis for FM is disabled (and therefore de-
emphasis on audio outputs is disabled).
•
A fast limiter is enabled over the audio outputs.
•
The MPX output turns of.
To change the working mode, you need to access
to internal micro-switches. For this, remove the top
cover following the indications:
All switches 'ON' = FM
Mode
All switches 'OFF' = HD
Mode
The FM/HD mode is
indicated by the LED
“FM” (ON = FM, OFF =
HD). By default the unit is
set for 'FM Mode'.

independent level control. The secondary output
