Setup
1. If you have experience connecting our FireWire
products you’ll nd this setup familiar and
easy.
2. Turn on your computer and be sure to have a
FireWire port available.
3. Connect your Firey to an AC power outlet with
the provided AC cable.
4. Connect the supplied FireWire cable to a port
on the back of your Firey, and connect the
other end to your computer. You only need
to connect a single FireWire cord to your
computer – the other port on the Firey is to
allow you to daisy chain the Firey with other
FireWire-enabled devices.
5. Turn the unit on using the switch located on the
back panel.
6. Your computer will automatically recognize the
Firey, and you will need to install the drivers
that were included with your unit (this is for PC
users only – Mac users need only make sure
the Firey is set as their preferred audio input/
output device). Follow the onscreen installation
instructions for the Firey 808, and turn the unit
off and on when prompted to. After installation
is complete, you should be able to view and
edit your Firey’s channel properties in the
Firey Control Panel.
7. Your next and nal thing to do would be to
activate the Firey in your DAW software.
Within the “devices”, “tools” or “properties”
pull-down menu, you should nd an option that
allows you to view your inputs. Activate the
Firey here, and you’ll be good to go!
