Using Big Ego With Your Apple Computer
Apple computers already have the drivers they need to use
your Big Ego. All you need to do is to tell your computer to
use your Big Ego as its sound card. Once you do that, your
computer will usually play through your Big Ego when it’s
plugged in, and play through its internal speakers when
your Big Ego is unplugged.
To tell your Apple computer to use Big Ego:
•
Connect your Big Ego to a USB port on your
Apple computer.
•
Open the
Finder
- from the dock.
•
Select
Applications
.
•
Double click on
Utilities
.
•
Double click on
Audio MIDI Setup
.
•
Click on
Emotiva Big Ego
on the left to select it.
•
Click on the little gear (on the bottom left).
•
Click
Use This Device For Sound Output
to set the Big Ego
as your default sound device.
•
Click on the red dot to
Exit Utilities
and
Audio MIDI Setup
.
Note: Your Big Ego has a special driverless mode for
Windows computers. If you hold the Filter Select Switch
while plugging in your Big Ego you’ll end up in this
mode; and the USB Mode Selector will light up red. If this
happens, it may confuse your Apple computer. If that
happens, just unplug your Big Ego and plug it back in.
