general system settings on your Macintosh.

Utilities folder.

the “Properties For” drop-down box. Note that it
says U.420 and not U.420d, that’s all OK.
4. Here you can see the settings for the U.420d.
You can also choose it as your default input or
output, as well as designate it to be used for the
system sound output.
5. You’re ready to go with any Mac OS X Core
Audio host application (i.e., Tracktion, Logic,
Cubase, Nuendo, Live, Digital Performer, etc.).

tions for the PC or Mac, connect the U.420d to

output device. The screenshot below shows the
