Connect the ULN-2
Go to your computer and install the driver and MIO Console application driver from the included disc (this
will require a restart). Please see the section on
software installation if you need clarification. Connect the
FireWire cable between the ULN-2 and your computer, then go to the System Preferences and select it as the
system’s sound input and output.
Take a listen
Don't launch MIO Console yet; turn the Monitor level on the front panel down, open iTunes and play some
music. Bring the Monitor level up to a comfortable level and listen.
MIO Console
Once you’ve listened for a while, launch MIO Console. If you're launching MIO Console for the first time,
you'll see the factory default setup; more information on this is available in the
Saving and Recalling Your
Setups section of this manual.
Using Legacy Interfaces
If you are also using an older Legacy interface without a 2d card, open the application’s preferences and
turn on “Legacy Support”. You will need to quit and relaunch MIO Console. All Metric Halo interfaces
manufactured since 2007 contain a 2d card.
The Console window
Figure 2.3: Console Window
There are a few important things to look at here. To the right, the “System” column lets you set the clock
source, sample rate and whether the wordclock output is 1x or 256x rate. In the “Lock” column you can see
if the ULN-2 is receiving a valid clock on the selected source.
Toward the top of the window you will see the text “ULN-2/xxx” where “xxx” is the serial number of the box.
By clicking on this you will get a menu of options for removal of offline boxes (you shouldn’t have any at
this point).
