Getting Started with MAC OS X

The following example is for setting up the

Q2U in MAC OS X .
1. To start using the Samson Q2U, just plug it

in. The LED will light to indicate it is receiv-

ing USB power. The MAC will recognize the

USB audio device and automatically install a

universal driver.

2. To select the Q2U as the computer’s default

device, open the

System Preferences

from

the dock or the main

Apple Menu

(figure

12).

Plug and Play - Some MAC OS DAW’s, like Apple’s

Garage band, will let you plug and play without

going to the Sound preference set up. When you

plug the Q2U into the USB port you’ll see a dialog

box that will ask you if you want to select the

Q2U. Select yes and you’re ready to go.

3. Next open the

Sound

preference (figure 13).

4. Now, click in the

Input

tab and select Q2U

(figure 14).

5. To set the gain of the microphone, adjust

the Input volume slider at the bottom of the

Sound dialog box.

6. Next, click in the

Output

tab and select

Q2U.
