4.2. MAC configuration
1. Turn on your computer and the
MXA-5400Z.
2. Use a USB cable to connect one
(or both) ports of the 5400Z to your
computer.
3. your MAC will immediately
recognize the mixer as a “USB
Audio Device” or “USB Audio
CODEC”.
To change system audio
preferences on a MAC, you will
need to access the audio MIDI
setup preferences located in
Applications X utilities.
Note: If you have connected both USB ports to your computer, the ports will be numbered in the order
they were connected. For example, if you connected USB A before USB B, USB A will appear as
“USB audio CODEC” and USB B will appear as “USB audio CODEC (2)”.
To send an audio from your computer into the MXA-5400Z, select USB Audio CODEC in the default
output field. This allows you to play audio from your computer into one of either of the mixer channels,
depending on which USB port is used to make the connection
If your sound playback or recording application does not have its own audio input and output settings
(for example, Apple ITunes), it will use the devices set in audio MIDI setup. Please note that these
settings are loaded upon application startup, so if you change device settings while the application is
open, you will to restart your application for the settings to take effect.
4.3. Using both USB ports simultaneously
Since the MXA-5400Z has two USB ports, you can attach a different computer to each USB jack or
you can connect both jacks to a single computer. Each USB jack on the mixer will appear as a
separate USB audio device to your computer. You can play two audio files simultaneously from one
computer and send both of those audio streams to separate channels of your mixer by using two USB
cables. If you do this, we suggest using one of the many commercially available software programs
that support multiple sound cards. However, if you don’t have software like that, you can use two
separate software media players instead. To do this you need to start the first media player and then
change the preferred audio device to the second USB port, then start your second media player.
