Hardware Setup
This hardware setup diagram will get 500R8 connected to your studio monitors and your
laptop/desktop device ready for software installation.
1) Connect mains power into the external PSU
supplied in 500R8’s packaging and connect the
power connector into 500R8’s power inlet.
2) Connect 500R8 to an available USB port on your
device using a USB type A to type B cable.
3) Connect the left and right Speaker A Outputs of
500R8 into the inputs of your studio monitors
using balanced XLR cables.
4) Power On 500R8 using a brief tap of the Power
button. Then Power On your studio monitors.
5) Configure the front panel monitor controls to
match the provided diagram.
The Aux and Monitor Blend controls
should be set to 12 o’clock and the DAW
Select switch should be set into the up
position.
Note:
Once 500R8 is connected to your speakers, the Monitor Level control may
seem sensitive with small movements causing large changes in volume. In
order to get the most out of 500R8’s Monitor Level control, we recommend
reducing the level of you studio monitors so that nominal listening level is
achieved at the 12 o’clock position of 500R8’s Monitor Level control.
For a detailed guide of how to configure your studio monitors with 500R8, please follow
the “
Configuring Studio Monitors With 500R8
