MICROTUBES INFINITY: USER GUIDE

Both Mac and PC send system audio to outputs 1 and 

2 by default, so you can always use the Microtubes 

Infinity’s  stereo  output  of  choice  without  having  to 

set up any extra routing. 

The level of these outputs is controlled by the small 

volume potentiometer at the top of the Microtubes 

Infinity. The other outputs have no volume control on 

the Microtubes Infinity.

USB input (from the Microtubes Infinity)

· Input 1: Processed signal

· Input 2: Unprocessed raw signal

· Input 3: Aux left + Bluetooth left

· Input 4: Aux right + Bluetooth right

AUDIO ROUTING

When the Microtubes Infinity is not bypassed, the Level 

potentiometer always controls the volume of your 

instrument input at all four outputs, and has no effect 

on the USB/Aux/Bluetooth audio. When the Microtubes 

Infinity  is  bypassed,  the  Level  potentiometer  has  no 

effect.

Your instrument, Aux input, and Bluetooth audio is 

routed to the headphone and balanced outputs. The 

media volume at these outputs can be controlled with 

the small potentiometer at the top of the Microtubes 

Infinity.

· When using the balanced outputs, the media 

volume and instrument volume level are separately 

controlled (small volume potentiometer at the top of 

the  Microtubes  Infinity  and  the  Level  potentiometer, 

respectively).

· When using headphones, the volume is controlled 

in the same way, with one exception: the headphone 

volume potentiometer acts as an overall master 

volume for both media and your instrument input.

· The XLR DI output is routed only with your 

instrument output and USB output 5.

The media playback volume level on the Microtubes 

Infinity is not applied to USB inputs 3 and 4.

The Darkglass Suite software currently comes with an 

extensive library of IR files and hundreds more will be 

added in the near future. The library consists of both 

bass and guitar cabinets. Captures of Darkglass Elite 

Series and Neodymium Series cabinets are available, 

among others.
