Inspecting & Unpacking
Although the shipping carton and packaging materials are designed to
prevent damage during shipment, you should inspect the carton for any
signs for mishandling or damage immediately upon receiving your new
unit. Carefully lift the unit from the carton and inspect it for any signs of
damage. Save all packaging materials for possible later use.
Note:
Any shipping damage or loss claims must be submitted to the freight agent.
Package Contents
Your carton and packaging should contain the following:
• Jackbox with attached USB cord
• 6V power adapter
• This Owner’s Manual
Initial Set-Up
1.
Unlike conventional jackboxes, the 1216-USB must have power
connected in order to function. The power connector is
located at the rear of the jackbox unit. Plug the included power
adapter into the USB jackbox.
2.
Plug the adapter into a standard 120 volt 50-60Hz AC outlet.
Be sure the plug blades are fully inserted. Since there is no on/off
switch on the unit, it is “on”once it is plugged in.
Connecting to a computer via USB
1.
The jackbox is designed to work with a computer and plug in
via a USB connector. Plug the USB cable on the jackbox into your
PC. The PC may come up with a message stating that it
recognizes a new audio device is connected. If you are running
Windows 98 or earlier, the PC may not be able to recognize the
USB device immediately. You may have to download drivers
from Microsoft or the maker of your operating system.
2.
In Windows XP, you can set the Jackbox to be the default audio
output device and input device. To do this, open the “Sounds
and Audio Devices”control panel. Click the “Audio”tab. Under
“Sound Playback”select the device “C-Media USB Headphone
Set”. Under “Sound recording”select the “C-Media USB
Headphone Set”as the default device. Once this is complete,
Step 2 continued
click the “OK”button. You should now hear computer audio through the
headphones connected to the jackbox. Also, any audio recording software
will record the sound from the microphones plugged into the jackbox.
3.
For other operating systems or for further setup details, please
see your operating system documentation.
Connecting Headsets or Microphones
You may connect up to 6 headphones to the green headphone outputs
(top row) of the jackbox. The volume of the headphones is controlled by the
green headphone volume knob on the top of the jackbox. For users to have
individual control over volume levels for each headphone, it is suggested to
use headphones with built-in volume controls.
You may connect up to 6 microphone inputs to the jackbox. The volume
input for the microphones is controlled by the microphone volume knob
on the top of the jackbox. The pink microphone inputs (bottom row of
jackbox) should be heard through any headphones plugged in.
“Make sure the volume is turned up in the sound card volume control
window in the computer in order to hear through the headphones what
is being said into the microphones.”
