When HeadRush Prime’s USB port is connected to your computer, you can select and use HeadRush Prime as a
24-bit audio interface, enabling you to play audio through it or to send its audio signal to the computer. It can use
sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz.
Important Note for Windows Users: Before connecting HeadRush Prime to your computer, download the
necessary drivers from headrushfx.com/support and install them.
To use HeadRush Prime as an audio interface with your computer, open your computer’s Control Panel
(Windows
®
) or System Preferences (macOS
®
), open its sound/audio settings, and select HeadRush Prime as the
device for recording/input and/or for playback/output.
HeadRush Prime can send six separate audio signal channels to your computer. Before recording HeadRush
Prime’s audio signal into your digital audio workstation (DAW), select the channel/channels you want to record:
1: the left channel of the XLR main outputs with all active effects applied.
2: the right channel of the XLR main outputs with all active effects applied.
3: the left channel of the 1/4” main outputs with all active effects applied.
4: the right channel of the 1/4” main outputs with all active effects applied.
5: a mono channel of the 1/4” guitar input with no effects applied.
6: a mono channel of the Combo XLR + 1/4" microphone input with no effects applied.
HeadRush Prime can receive four separate audio signal channels from your computer. The channels are named and
routed as follows:
1: the left channel of your computer’s output audio signal, which will be sent directly out of HeadRush Prime’s
main outputs and phones output.
2: the right channel of your computer’s output audio signal, which will be sent directly out of HeadRush Prime’s
main outputs and phones output.
3: a mono channel of your computer’s audio signal, which will be sent back through HeadRush Prime (see
(4.16.3) Reamping below).
4: not used in this scenario.
Important: Remember to set your DAW’s main outputs to be sent to 1/2.
