“Stereo only (needs less USB bandwidth)”, sample rate, and
appropriate Bit-depth buttons, by clicking once on them.
You may select either of two sampling rates for the EMI 2|6—
44.1kHz or 48kHz. Normally, 44.1 is the best choice, as this is
the sampling rate used on audio CDs and by most music pro-
grams and devices. If you would like to connect a consumer
DAT recorder (or other device that uses a 48kHz sampling rate)
to the EMI 2|6’s digital output and/or want to record at a 48kHz
sampling rate, you can select this rate here.
The option Low bandwidth mode: stereo 16 bit only option limits
audio playback from the EMI 2|6 to two channels, and deacti-
vates outputs 3, 4, 5 and 6. This option is deactivated be
default. It can be very useful if you only use the EMI 2|6 in ste-
reo as it saves USB bandwidth.

The operating system reserves six audio channels for the EMI 2|6,
even if only two of them are used—with the other outputs receiving
“silence”. In this scenario, the USB bandwidth used by the other four
channels is wasted unnecessarily. If you wish to use another device via
USB (especially one with high bandwidth needs, such as a webcam),
it may suffer from poor performance due to a data overload on the
bus. The
Low bandwidth mode: stereo 16 bit only option changes the
behavior of the EMI 2|6 to that of a two channel device, thereby
avoiding this waste of USB bandwidth.
The Reset Default Option
Clicking on the Reset Default button resets the EMI 2|6 control
panel settings to their defaults—a sampling rate of 44.1 and the
transmission of all six output channels. To confirm any changes
to settings, press the OK button. To avoid making changes,
press the Cancel button.
There is no Reset Default button in the EMI 2|6 Control Panel
for the Macintosh.
