AR010
Introduction
You can use this product to record high-quality audio on your computer. Not only record the human voice through the microphone input port; also can record the Line signal, at the same time, you can connect the physical output to the speaker, active monitors, headphones or any other audio equipment for real- time monitoring.
Operation Interface
1 Line – “Combo” input sockets – connect microphones or line level
signals here. Combo sockets accept both XLR and ¼” (6.35 mm) jacks.
Microphones connect using XLR plugs; line level signals should be connected
via ¼” (6.35 mm) jack.
2 Volume VU meter – used for confirming sign level Green = signal, Red =
clipping, CLIP LED indicates that the audio signal in the channel is too loud.
Turn the corresponding GAIN knob counter-clockwise until the CLIP LED no
longer light.
3 GAIN – adjust the input gain level for the channel .
4 ¼” TRS output jack. If your headphones have a ¼” TRS jack plug, connect
them directly; if they have a 3.5 mm TRS “mini jack”, use a TRS ¼ “-to- 3.5 mm
jack adaptor. Note that it is likely that headphones fitted with 4-pole TRRS
plugs will not operate correctly.
5 Volume VU meter – used for confirming sign level Green = signal, Red =
clipping, CLIP LED indicates that the audio signal in the channel is too loud.
Turn the corresponding MONITOR knob counter-clockwise until the CLIP LED no
longer light.
6 PHONES – knob adjusts the output level at the headphones output.
7 +48V LED indicates that +48V phantom power is engaged.
8 POWER LED – The LED light will be powered when connect to computer
9 USB 2.0 Type-C connector – Connect to a computer via this connector.
10 LINE OUTPUTS LEFT and RIGHT – 2 x RCA
11 +48V – phantom power switch for microphone input – enables 48V phantom
power at the XLR socket (required for professional studio condenser
microphones)

How to confirm successful contacted with your computer by USB data cable?
(1) Windows
Step 1: Connect this product with computer via USB cable
Step 2: Computer open device manager
Step 3: The selected “Sound, video and game controllers” shows the device name
” USB AUDIO DEVICE” of the product.
(2) Mac OS
Step 1: Open the settings in the Mac OS System Prefrences:
Step 2: Find the sound
Step 3: Select the device ” USB AUDIO DEVICE “ for sound input
When you need to monitor through this product, open the settings in the Mac OS System Prefrences, find the sound, and then select the device ” USB AUDIO DEVICE “ for sound output.
3. Does it make noisy when use?
We recommend that you only connect the USB-C cable, turn on the monitor, and
it is normal to hear the current sound with headphones, and it indicates the
product is no problem; if there are other noises, you can try to re-plug or
replace the cable.
NOTE
1. The microphone input port uses a standard 3-pin XLR socket, which is compatible with most types of microphones.
2. Mac, Windows10 or above driver-free installation, you can install [ASIO4ALL] if you have special needs.
