16 PHASE X24 (English)
Mac installation—step by step
Which operating system?
The PHASE X24 FW can only be used under Mac OS 10.3.6 (OS X) or higher. It can be
integrated easily using OS X CoreAudio and CoreMIDI.
Power supply
It should be possible to use the PHASE X24 FW without an AC adapter on a 6-pin
FireWire™ connection. However, some FireWire™ controllers do not provide a consis-
tently adequate operating voltage. We therefore recommend the use of the included AC
adapter. The AC adapter is a must if your computer only features a 4-pin FireWire™
connection, as these do not have the two power conductors of the 6-pin port.
Installing the PHASE X24 FW driver in OS X
As mentioned above, the PHASE X24 FW uses the operating system's CoreAudio and
CoreMIDI drivers. It's therefore not necessary to install a device-specific driver. Simply
plug the device into your FireWire™ port and it's available immediately. However, to take
full advantage of advanced routing, sampler rate switching and other features, please
install the included Control Panel. Simply run the installer in the PHASE X24 FW\Driver &
Control Panel\MAC folder.
The PHASE X24 FW as a system audio device (Mac OS X)
If you would like to use the PHASE X24 FW not only for specific audio applications, but as
your default Mac OS X audio device, select the PHASE X24 FW audio driver in the
“Sound” control panel as the default device for audio output.
