Quick Audio Test
The installation of your LynxONE can be tested using the LynxONE Mixer and the
Sound Recorder application that ships with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. Any
other audio application capable of audio recording and playback can be used in a
similar manner.
1. Connect a stereo analog signal source to the LEFT IN and RIGHT IN connectors
on the Audio cable.
2. Connect the LEFT OUT and RIGHT OUT connectors to an amplifier or mixer
capable of delivering an audio signal for listening via headphones or speakers.
3. Open the LynxONE Mixer by double clicking on the mixer icon.
4. In the LynxONE Mixer, set the Trim to either +4 dBu or -10 dBV to match the
signal level of the connected equipment.
5. In the LynxONE Mixer, set the Monitor Source to Analog In (this is the default
setting). Click on the Monitor button on the Analog Out panel to enable analog
input monitoring. You should hear the signal from the audio source which is
connected to the analog inputs. If this is not the case, check your connections.
Note, in this monitoring mode the peak level meters in the LynxONE mixer do not
operate.
6. Disable input monitoring by again clicking on the Monitor button on the Analog
Output panel. After doing so, this button should look like it is in the “out” or non-
depressed position.
7. Start Sound Recorder by clicking Start > Programs > Accessories > Multimedia >
Sound Recorder. Position Sound Recorder on your screen so it be easily viewed
along with the LynxONE Mixer.
8. In Sound Recorder, select the LynxONE’s audio devices by opening the Edit menu
and selecting Audio Properties. Select LynxONE Analog Out as the Preferred
device for playback and LynxONE Analog In as the Preferred device for recording.
9. Record a short sample by clicking the red record button followed by the stop
button in Sound Recorder. During recording, you should observe a graphic display
of the waveform being recorded in the center display in Sound Recorder. You
should also see activity on the Analog In peak meters of the LynxONE Mixer.
10. Playback the test sample by clicking the play button in Sound Recorder. During
playback, you should observe a graphic display of the waveform being played in
Sound Recorder. You should also hear the recorded audio and see activity on the
Analog Out peak meters of the LynxONE Mixer.
If the test did not operate as described or you received any errors, please refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
