Installation (Windows and Mac)
We aim to ensure that the latest installation software will be on the disk included with your Saffire PRO 40. However we strongly
recommend that you check for the latest version of software on our website; www.focusrite.com before starting to work with your
Saffire PRO 40 unit.
1. Insert your installer disk into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. You should see a window pop up showing the Saffire PRO 40 installer icon.
3. Double click on the installer icon to begin the installation process.
4. Follow onscreen instructions to complete the installation process.
Once the installation has been completed, your Computer OS should automatically switch its default audio outputs to be the
Saffire PRO 40.
To make sure this is the case:
On Windows, go to Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Set the input and output to Saffire PRO.
On Mac, go to System Preferences > Sound > Set the input and output to Saffire PRO.
For more detailed setup options on a Mac, go to Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Set-up.
Audio Set-up in your DAW
The Saffire PRO 40 is compatible with any DAW that uses ASIO drivers on Windows, and any DAW that uses Core Audio on Mac.
Your DAW software will not automatically switch the device it used to input and output audio.
Ensure that the Saffire PRO is selected as the ASIO driver or Core Audio driver in your DAWs audio set-up page.
Please refer to your DAWs documentation if you are unsure where to select the ASIO / Core Audio driver.
