Connecting the Microphone to Your Computer (Windows)
The MXL® Studio 1 USB microphone will operate with both USB 2.0 (high
speed USB) and USB 1.1 data buses. We recommend you connect your
microphone directly to the computer’s USB port as opposed to using a USB
hub. USB hubs have been known to interfere with the performance of various
USB devices.
PLEASE NOTE: Audio and video recording can be very taxing to a computer’s
resources. For this reason, you should close any and all running applications that
are non essential.
Please take the following steps to get connected:
If open, close your audio recording application. You will open it after the
