CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER
Before connecting your Sterling H224 hardware to a computer, please visit
www.sterlingaudio.net/products/
downloads/H224 to check for the most current software and drivers for use with your computer.
Note: The speed of your computer processor, amount of RAM, and capacity, size, and type + speed of your
hard drives will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. A faster processor and more
RAM can reduce signal latency (delay) and improve overall system performance.
The Windows OS installer also includes a Windows ASIO driver for great low-latency throughput performance.
No driver installation is necessary for Mac OS.
