Firefly 302 USB
Mac Operation
After installing the Firefly 302 USB driver
and software to your Mac computer, enter
the Audio MIDI Setup application and you
should be able to select the Phonic Firefly
302 USB as your default input and output
device.
Also in the Audio MIDI Setup, you will be
able to adjust volume levels of your vari-
ous input and output signals, as well as
the sampling rate and resolution you want
to use. Users are able to select between
.1, 8, 88.2, 96, 176. and 192 kHz
sampling rates. Resolution can be se-
lected between 2-bit, 20-bit and 16-bit.
Both the sampling rate and resolution can
be adjusted in your DAW software as well
(depending on what software you use).
Also in the Audio MIDI Setup, tracks can
be muted at will, and input signals can be
set to ‘thru’, which - put simply - will return
the input signals directly back to their cor-
responding outputs.
The input and output channel names listed
correspond with each of the Firefly’s input
and outputs. Channels 1 to 6 on the input
correspond, in order, with analog inputs 1
and 2 (listed in the Audio MIDI Setup as
channels 1 and 2), the microphone input
(channels 3 and ) and the S/PDIF left
and right input signals (channels 5 and 6).
The output channels 1 to are, in order,
analog outputs 1 and 2 and S/PDIF out-
puts left and right.
MIDI Setup
Also in the Audio MIDI Setup section, us-
ers are able to adjust the Firefly’s MIDI
functions by selecting ‘MIDI Devices’ at
the top of the window. Within the MIDI
Devices section, a ‘Firefly 302 USB’ icon
should be present and users can select it
to get the following screen.
