M-Audio MobilePre USB [20/29] Usb connection

USB Connection

The MobilePre USB communicates with your computer through a USB

port. It is also powered by the USB connection. Because of this, we

recommend that you plug the MobilePre USB into one of the built-in USB

ports on your computer, not through a keyboard connection or USB hub.

To connect your MobilePre USB, find the open jack of an unused USB port

on your computer and connect it to the MobilePre’s USB jack with the

included USB cable.This computers USB jacks will most often be located

on a rear panel and will probably be marked with a symbol looking

something like the one pictured here.

In Windows XP & Mac OS X (10.2.6 & higher), the MobilePre USB is

class-compliant, making driver installation optional—to begin using the

MobilePre USB, you may simply plug the unit into a USB port . However,

choosing to install the driver will allow the following added functionality:

Windows XP - Device Control Panel and ASIO support with low-latency drivers

Mac OSX - Device Control Panel and Direct Monitor control with low-latency drivers

NOTE: For easiest setup, you should install the software drivers on

the included CD-ROM before connecting the USB cable to your

computer. This procedure is explained in the section of this manual

titled “Software Installation.”

Control Panel Setup

Once setup is complete, you can control most aspects of the MobilePre

USB using its control panel.To launch the control panel in your operating

system, check the following instructions:

Windows: You should see an M-Audio logo “M” installed on the right

side of your Windows taskbar. Double click on this logo, to launch the M-

Audio MobilePre USB Control Panel.

Mac OS 9: Following the driver software installation in Mac OS 9 and

restarting, the MobilePre USB Control Panel will be placed in your Apple

Control Panels folder. Open your Applications folder and select “M-Audio

MobilePre USB Settings.” This will launch the M-Audio MobilePre USB

Control Panel.This panel can also be launched through the ASIO control

panels within your ASIO applications.
