GOiNG DiGiTAL

The Key-Largo features a Type-B USB connection, and requires a USB 

2.0 cable to connect to the port on your computer or laptop. This is a 

common ‘TYPE A to TYPE B’ cable that is compatible with the majority of 

printers, hard drives and audio interfaces. 

TYPe A USB

Fits most laptops and computers

TYPe B USB

Used to connect to the Key-Largo

If using with a Mac, the Key-Largo is plug-and-play, with no drivers 

required.  Upon  first  use,  if  your  audio  software  does  not  immediately 

recognize the Key-Largo, try restarting your Mac with the Key-Largo 

connected. For users running Windows, please visit www.radialeng.

com/radial-drivers.php to download the latest drivers for the Key-Largo. 

Install these drivers before connecting the Key-Largo to your computer 

via USB. 

Once connected to your computer via USB, the Key-Largo will appear in 

the list of available audio devices in your system setting/control panel. 

The Key-Largo functions as a 2-in/2-out audio interface, so you can set 

it as your audio input device (for recording audio into your digital audio 

workstation), and as an audio output device (for playing back audio from 

your computer through a PA system). When playing back audio from 

your computer, the USB LEVEL control affects how much is mixed in with 

your keyboards and fed to the MAIN and MONITOR outputs. Test this 

output with the volume turned down, then slowly increase the level until 

you reach a good balance with the instruments connected to channels 

1-3.
