5. SETTING UP THE USB MODULES
Previous discussions about modules 1 thru 4 is also applicable for modules 5 and 6 except in these modules line B
is replaced by a USB interface circuit and connector.
In order to set up a connection between your computer and AIRMATE-USB mixer, use a
standard USB cable from any local computer shop. (See picture).
Standard USB cable
When connecting the Airmate-USB to your computer, the computer (PC or Mac) will recog-
nize the Airmate as new hardware and will establish a connection to any audio programs
needing audio hardware.
After establishing a connection, there is no need to download drivers or performing com-
plicated setup routines, just plug in the USB cable to your Windows or Mac computer and start tracking!
