Studio GT

Installing the Studio GT

Windows 7 & Windows Vista

The Studio GT does not require any

special drivers or software. Just plug in

the Studio GT into a USB port on your

computer and everything is installed

automatically.

1. The first time you plug the Studio GT

into a USB port, Windows 7 and Vista

will install the universal drivers for that

port. A balloon tip will pop up, telling

you it has found the USB Audio codec

(Figure 1).

2. When it is finished installing the

drivers, it will say “Your new hardware

is installed and ready to use”. This

balloon will not pop up again for the

same USB port.

3. The Studio GT becomes the Default

Device after you plug it in and defaults

to maximum volume. Double-check

this by hovering over the speaker icon

in the bottom right hand corner of the

screen. It should show Volume:100

and "Samson StudioGT".

4. If it is not the default device, you can

set it under the Sound Properties

panel in Control Panel (figure 2).

5. Select the “Recording” tab. Select the

“Samson StudioGT” from the list.

6. To set the gain (volume) settings.

Select the “Properties” button, then

select the “Levels” tab. The “Input”

volume control should be set as close

as possible to 0 dB to get the best

dynamic range (Figure 3). If the level is

set higher than this, the noise will be

unnecessarily high. The “Input” volume
