AUDIOGRAM 6 Owner’s Manual

 

To prevent loud pops and noises, turn on the power 
to your sound gear starting with the sources 
(instruments, CD players, etc.) and ending with the 
monitor speakers (powered speakers).

 

1

 

Turn on the instruments and microphones.

 

2

 

If you are using a condenser microphone for 
the channel 1, turn on the P48V 
switch.

 

Observe the following precautions when 
turning on phantom power.

• Make sure that the P48V switch 

is off when phantom power is not needed.

• When turning the switch on, be sure that 

only a condenser microphone is con-
nected to the channel 1 MIC/INST input 
jack. Other devices may be damaged if 
connected to phantom power. This precau-
tion does not apply to balanced dynamic 
microphones or instruments with the 
phone jack, however, as these will not be 
affected by phantom power.

• To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to 

turn off power amplifiers (or powered 
speakers) before turning this switch on or 
off. We also recommend that you set the 
MASTER LEVEL control to the minimum 
position before operating this switch to 
avoid the risk of loud noises that could 
cause hearing loss or device damage.

 

3

 

Connect the AUDIOGRAM interface to your 
computer using the supplied USB cable.

 

The POWER indicator will light to indicate that power 
is being applied to the AUDIOGRAM interface.

 

When connecting or disconnecting the USB 
cable be sure to turn the DAW control and the 
MASTER LEVEL control all the way down.

 

The first time you connect to the computer’s
USB connector, or change the connection to
a different USB port, a driver installation dis-
play may appear. If this occurs, wait until the
installation is complete before proceeding.

 

4

 

Turn the power to the monitor speakers 
(powered-speakers).

 

1

 

Set the GAIN controls to the minimum position 
and the LEVEL controls to about 1 o’clock.

 

Set the MASTER LEVEL control to the mini-
mum position. Failure to do so may result in 
loud noise bursts that can damage your 
equipment, your ears, or both.

 

2

 

Adjust the volume on all instruments that are 
connected to the AUDIOGRAM interface.

 

3

 

Adjust the channel GAIN controls so that the 
corresponding PEAK indicators flash briefly 
on the highest peak levels.

 

4

 

Adjust the overall volume with the MASTER 
LEVEL control while monitoring via head-
phones or monitor speakers.

 

Lower the volume using the LEVEL controls until the 
level indicator PEAK LEDs flash only briefly on occa-
sional high-level peaks or not at all.

Powering Up the System

CAUTION

 

USB Connection Precautions

 

Be sure to observe the following points when connect-
ing to the computer's USB interface.
Failure to observe these rules can result in computer 
freezes/hang-ups and possibly data loss or corruption. 
If the instrument or computer does hang up, restart the 
application or computer.

 

• Be sure to wake the computer from sleep/

suspended/standby mode before making a
connection to the computer’s USB connec-
tor.

• Always quit all applications running on the

computer before connecting or disconnect-
ing the USB cable.

• Wait at least 6 seconds between connecting

or disconnecting the USB cable.
