USEFUL TIPS
At Peachtree Audio we believe all products should be easy to use, but sometimes
getting the audio to stream out of a computer’s USB port requires a few extra steps.
See instructions below. Some minor changes may occur with Windows or Apple OS
updates, but the basics are the usually the same.
USB Connections
Windows PC
B
Connect the USB-B input on the nova to an open USB port on your computer.
C
Your computer should “recognize” the nova as a USB device. You might even get
a pop-up window notifying you.
D
Right click the speaker icon on your screen.
E
Select the “AUDIO” tab.
F
Using the drop-down menu, choose the Peachtree Audio option.
G
Click “OK.”
H
You will need to install the included USB 2.0 driver for playback of music files that
exceed 96kHz when using a Windows PC.
Launch your music application and enjoy!
Mac
B
Open System Preferences.
C
Click on Sound.
D
In the output tab you should see Peachtree as one of the choices.
E
Select it.
Launch iTunes or other music application and enjoy!
Once you set up your computer using the instructions above, it should automatically
recognize the nova each time you use it. If you unplug the USB connection or re-boot
your computer, you may have to repeat some of the steps above. This is typical.
Other useful tips...
For the best sound when listening to music from your computer, set your computer and
music program volume controls to maximum and use the nova volume knob or remote
control as the master volume control.
For critical listening to music from your computer, avoid keeping multiple programs
open. It can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts.
Provide adequate ventilation above the nova so it can “breathe.”
