Setup
This microphone/speakerphone is a USB
(Universal Serial Bus) device, meaning
it’s a plug and play microphone that will
interface with Windows and Macintosh
computers without the need for any special
drivers. The MXL uChat will operate with
both USB 2.0 (high speed USB) and USB 1.1
data buses. We recommend connecting your
microphone directly to the computer’s USB
port as opposed to using a USB hub as USB
hubs can interfere with the performance of
various USB devices.
In addition to the USB input, the MXL uChat
includes a headphone output jack for private
conversations and an extension jack that can
be used for additional microphones in a panel
setting or to increase your degree of coverage.
The MXL uChat also includes a handy mute
button so your side of the conversation can be
quickly muted.
When headphones are plugged into the
MXL uChat the speaker automatically
mutes. The speaker will regain function as
soon as the headphones are unplugged.
The headphone jack accepts most head-
phones; however, the maximum headphone
volume will vary by manufacturer and
model so care should always be exercised
when first plugging in your headphone.
