DRIVERS AND FIRMWARE
All drivers required by the Microphone X is available for download
from the Aphex website. Be sure that you download and install the
most up-to-date drivers before you connect the Microphone X to your
computer.
If you don’t have Internet access, drivers are on the CD-ROM included in
the box.
MAC OS ONLY:
Microphone X does not require special drivers on OSX. Just connect
Microphone X to the Mac with a high quality USB cable and it will be
recognized automatically.
Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio
outputs to be the USB port to which the Microphone X is connected.
To verify this, go to System Preferences > Sound, and ensure that the
input and output are set to Microphone X. For more detailed setup
options on a Mac, open Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.
WINDOWS ONLY:
Before connecting Microphone X to your computer, install the driver
from the included CD or from the driver installer you can download
from www.aphex.com. If Windows presents any dialogs during the
installation process, click OK, Accept or Allow. Connect Microphone
X after the driver installation process has completed.
