When you are prompted to select installation options, select the option to
install drivers only.

3

Select the driver option that corresponds with the model name and number
of your audio device. Click Install.

4

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the driver installation.

5

Restart your computer when prompted.

6

Connect your audio device to a USB port on your computer and wait for the
Windows® operating system to detect it. (A message may appear in the
Windows task tray.)

Open SonicStage Premium software:

1

Click Start in the Windows taskbar, and click All Programs.

2

Point to SonicStage Premium, and click SonicStage Premium. The
SonicStage Premium main window appears.
