The default setting will create a folder called “Echo” on your main hard drive. When you are ready, click the Install button. The installer will now create the folder where you told it to and place the Console, the ASIO driver, and this manual inside it. 4. Installation completed. You will now see a message telling you that the installation was successful.
Hardware installation – all products Hardware Installation The following steps will guide you through installing your Echo hardware. Installing the PCI Card for Desktop Computers Once you have checked your system requirements, verified that there are no problems with your system, and installed your ASIO-based software, it is time to install the Echo hardware into your computer. Please refer to the section in your Macintosh manual for installing a PCI card.
Hardware installation – all products hex screws that hold the back-plate of the card to the Mac. The back-plate is the thin piece of metal connected to the Layla24 card that sits against the case of your computer. Another option, if that piece needs a little more play, is to gently bend it back. Some users have broken the plastic that comes with their Mac to solve this problem. However, due to Mac warranty issues, we are not able to recommend this approach. 6. OPTIONAL: (If you have Mia, skip this step.
Hardware installation – all products Installing the CardBus Adapter for Laptop Computers 1. Locate the rack-mount interface, the 9-pin interface cable, and the power cable. Securely mount the interface into your equipment rack. If you will not be mounting the box in a rack, remove the backing from the four rubber feet and place one in each bottom corner of the interface unit. Then be sure to locate the rack-mount box in a secure location. 2. Connect the cable.
Audio connections – Layla24 Connecting to Layla24’s Rack-mount Audio Interface The back panel of Layla24’s rack-mount audio interface contains a wide variety of connections that allow great flexibility in the operation of Layla24. For optimal performance with Layla24, it is critical to use the appropriate cabling and connectors. Analog Inputs and Outputs Layla24 has eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs on the rear panel.
Audio connections – Layla24 The Computer Connector Next to the analog inputs and outputs is a connector labeled COMPUTER. This connector is known as a DB-9, and is similar to the serial port on a PC. It is the point at which the audio interface connects to the Layla24 PCI card inside your computer. A cable was supplied with your Layla24 for this purpose. This custom made cable is manufactured to certain specifications; if you need to replace it, you should only use a replacement cable from Echo.
Audio connections – Layla24 S/PDIF Next to the ADAT connectors is a pair of connectors labeled S/PDIF, IN and OUT. These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital data among digital audio devices via an electrical signal. S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample width used internally on Layla24. When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Layla24, the use of standard analog RCA audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75ohm coaxial (RG59) video cables are recommended.
Audio connections – Layla24 MIDI The last set of connections to the Layla24 interface is for MIDI. The MIDI ports can be used for receiving MIDI time code (MTC), or sending MIDI signals from your digital audio/MIDI sequencing software to external sound modules, etc. MIDI cabling is highly standardized and widely available.
Audio connections - Mona Connecting to Mona’s Rack-mount Audio Interface The back panel of Mona’s rack-mount audio interface contains a wide variety of connections that allow great flexibility in the operation of Mona. To achieve the optimal performance with Mona, it is critical that the appropriate cabling and connectors are used. Analog Inputs and Outputs Mona has four analog inputs on the front panel, and six analog outputs on the back panel.
Audio connections - Mona Mona provides 48 volts of phantom power for microphones that require it. To enable phantom power press the button labeled +48V (the LED next to it will light up) and phantom power will be provided to all microphone inputs. Note: Phantom power will not be applied to any line level equipment or guitars plugged in using ¼” connectors.
Audio connections - Mona Mona’s Guitar Input (1/4” Plug, Impedance: 107K, Trim: 10 – 50dB) An input impedance of 10K is too low to record non-active guitar pickups, so each input also has its own GUITAR switch. When the GUITAR switch is pushed in (green indicator lit), the input impedance is increased to 107K and the trim knob has a range of 10 to 50dB. The indicator will only light up if there is a ¼” connector plugged into the jack.
Audio connections - Mona XLR jack outputs a +4 dBu (balanced) signal. Both connectors are active at all times, so the output signal will always go out of both jacks. The Computer Connector Next to the analog inputs and outputs is a connector labeled COMPUTER. This connector is known as a DB-9, and is similar to the serial port on a PC. It is the point at which the audio interface connects to the Mona PCI card inside your computer. A cable was supplied with your Mona for this purpose.
Audio connections - Mona ADAT/S/PDIF optical I/O Next to the COMPUTER connector is a pair of connectors labeled OPTICAL, IN and OUT. These connectors are used to transmit digital data among digital audio devices via an optical signal. You can use this port for ADAT (8 channels) or for optical S/PDIF (stereo) I/O. Note: Mona is only capable of transmitting or receiving one type of digital signal at a time. You must choose either ADAT optical or S/PDIF (optical or RCA); you cannot use both simultaneously.
Audio connections - Mona S/PDIF Next to the ADAT connectors is a pair of connectors labeled S/PDIF, IN and OUT. These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital data among digital audio devices via an electrical signal. S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample width used internally on Mona. When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Mona, the use of standard analog RCA audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75ohm coaxial (RG59) video cables are recommended.
Audio Connections – Gina24 Connecting to Gina24’s Audio Interface The back panel of Gina24’s audio interface contains a wide variety of connections that allow great flexibility in the operation of Gina24. To achieve the optimal performance with Gina24, it is critical that the appropriate cabling and connectors are used. Analog Inputs and Outputs Gina24 has two analog inputs and eight analog outputs on the front panel.
Audio Connections – Gina24 A cable was supplied with your Gina24 for this purpose. This custom made cable is manufactured to certain specifications; if you need to replace it, you should only use a replacement cable from Echo. Please Note: The Gina24 cable is NOT interchangeable with Darla24 or Gina (20-bit) cables. ADAT/S/PDIF optical I/O Next to the COMPUTER connector is a pair of connectors labeled OPTICAL, IN and OUT.
Audio Connections – Gina24 S/PDIF Next to the ADAT connectors is a pair of connectors labeled S/PDIF, IN and OUT. These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital data among digital audio devices via an electrical signal. S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample width used internally on Gina24. When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Gina24, the use of standard analog RCA audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75ohm coaxial (RG59) video cables are recommended.
Audio Connections – Mia Connecting to Mia Analog Inputs and Outputs Mia has two analog outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) and two analog inputs (IN1 and IN2) on the back. The input and output connections can accept balanced or unbalanced jacks via ¼” connectors. Both the inputs and outputs are set to receive or send a +4 dBu (balanced) signal. For optimum performance it is recommended that you use balanced signals when connecting to Mia’s analog connectors.
ASIO driver installation – all products ASIO Driver Installation & Configuration Now that you’ve run the Echo24 Card Installer program, you will need to manually install the ASIO Echo24 driver. On the Macintosh, Echo hardware only currently supports ASIO; Sound Manager is not supported. 1. Find it. Find the ASIO Echo24 file in the newly created Echo folder. 2. Copy it. Create a copy of this file. You will need one copy for every ASIO based software program you have installed.
OMS setup – Layla24 OMS Setup (Layla24 Only) If you want to use MIDI input and output on your Layla24, you will need to use Opcode’s OMS. 1. Install OMS. OMS is included on the CD that came with your Echo product; just open the OMS folder and double-click the installer. 2. Run OMS Setup. Now, you will need to find the Opcode folder on your hard drive where you installed OMS. Open it and then open the folder called OMS Applications. Find OMS Setup and double click it.
OMS setup – Layla24 3. Create a New Studio Setup. Go to the File menu and click New Studio Setup. Click OK. A new window will come up. Click Search.
OMS setup – Layla24 4. Verify that the Echo OMS driver is recognized. The OMS Driver Setup window recognizes MIDI hardware drivers in your system. If there is something missing, then refer to your OMS manual and follow the instructions. If everything is OK, then click OK. Now you will see the OMS MIDI Device Setup window. 5. Verify that your MIDI devices are recognized. This window recognizes any MIDI devices (like synthesizers) currently attached to your system through your MIDI hardware (like Layla24).
OMS setup – Layla24 6. Save the new studio setup. Now you will be asked to save the new studio setup. You can overwrite your old setup with the same name or create a new one. Click Save when you’re done and you’ll see a window displaying your new setup. 7. Test it. If you want to test your new setup, go to the Studio menu and click Test Studio. Your mouse pointer will turn into a musical note. In the Setup window, click on a tone generator or synthesizer.
Install Cubasis – all products Install Cubasis Your Echo hardware comes with Steinberg’s Cubasis VST. This is a great way to get started with digital recording. To install Cubasis VST: 1. Insert the CD. Insert the Echo CD-ROM into your Mac and open the “Cubasis VST” folder. 2. Run the installer. Double-click on the “Cubasis OEM Installer” and follow the instructions. 3. Copy the ASIO driver.
Console – Mia The Console – Gina24, Layla24, and Mona A “virtual control surface” application called the Console is included with the Mac driver. The Console allows you to control the audio I/O and clocking functions of your Echo hardware, and it brings these controls to a single easy-to-use location. From the console you can control the output levels, select synchronization clocks, select the digital mode, and adjust input monitoring.
Console – Mia Here’s a picture of the console for Layla24 (Gina24 and Mona are similar) Bus select: The bus select panel is the area outlined in green. Eight different output busses are shown here: four analog busses in the top row and four digital busses on the bottom row. Each bus has its own button marked with either an A or D (Analog or Digital) and a channel number pair. The highlighted button is the currently active bus.
Console – Mia currently controlling everything mixed to analog outputs 1 and 2. These channels correspond to the currently selected button on the bus select panel. The two buttons labeled “+4” are the nominal level select buttons. Since they both read “+4,” this indicates these outputs are sending a +4dBu (professional level) signal. To send a –10dBV (consumer level) signal, click the button. This feature allows you to connect either professional or consumer gear to each output.
Console – Mia buttons here either; this is because Mona’s input level is controlled on its audio interface box. Below the “nominal level” button is the peak meter for this channel, labeled in decibels. The red segment of the peak meter starts at –3 dB and the yellow starts at –12 dB. Under the peak meter is the monitor pan slider; this pans the input channel between the two channels of the output bus. Holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on a pan slider will set the slider to the center position.
Console – Mia Clock and digital mode settings: The area within the yellow outline on the upper right lets you select your sync source and digital mode. If a given clock is detected, the green indicator next to the clock button will light up. You will only be allowed to select clocks that have been detected. Also, you may only select the digital mode if the there aren’t any applications actively playing or recording. Note: Sample rates above 48kHz will not be available while ADAT mode is selected.
Console – Mia The Console - Mia A “virtual control surface” application called the Console is included with the Mac driver. The Console allows you to control the audio I/O and clocking functions of your Echo hardware, and it brings these controls to a single easy-to-use location. From the console you can control the output levels, select synchronization clocks, select the digital mode, and adjust input monitoring.
Console - Mia or digital outputs in any combination. You therefore have eight virtual outputs that are mixed down to the four physical outputs. Here’s a picture of the console for Mia: Bus select: Let’s start with the area within the green outline on the right. This is the bus select panel. Two different output busses are shown here: the analog output bus on top, and the digital output bus on the bottom row. Click on the label below the meters to select the bus.
Console - Mia At the top of this area you will see the label “Analog out 1-2”. This indicates that you are currently controlling everything that will be mixed out to analog outputs 1 and 2, which corresponds to the green “A 1-2” on the bus select panel. The two buttons labeled “+4” are the nominal level select buttons. Since they both read “+4”, this indicates that these outputs are sending a +4 signal. To send a –10 signal, click the button.
Console - Mia Next is the monitor mute. This controls whether or not you want this input channel to be mixed directly back out to the currently selected output bus. Again, this does not affect recording. This is followed by the monitor fader. This controls the input monitor level. Once again, this does not affect your record level. The button marked “G” between each fader is the gang button.
Console - Mia Menus You can set your S/PDIF output format by selecting File/Preferences. This lets you configure your card for professional or consumer format S/PDIF output. Some S/PDIF devices need to see one format or another. If you are having trouble connecting a S/PDIF device to the digital output of your Echo card, try changing this setting. The “Active Card” menu is used when you have more than one Mia; use this menu to switch between the different cards.
Synchronization – all products Synchronizing Multiple Devices Layla24, Mona, Gina24 and Mia are designed to work alongside other audio equipment. If you are planning on using your card with other audio equipment, please note the following: The Mac drivers included in this package support multiple Echo cards within the same system. In addition, your new Echo hardware will operate alongside other Echo products.
Synchronization – all products only sync to S/PDIF clock if the master device is set to a sample rate between 30kHz and 50kHz. Otherwise you will get noise and/or loss of sync. Note: When recording from a S/PDIF port, you must select S/PDIF as the input clock. For greater flexibility, this is not done automatically. If you find that your S/PDIF recordings contain pops or skips, be sure that you have selected S/PDIF as your input clock.
Synchronization – all products Now let’s take a look at some sample configurations and how you might set them up from a synchronization standpoint. Let’s start simple. Suppose that Layla24 is the only audio device used in your system. Since you have no other devices to synchronize with, simply select Internal for Layla24’s input clock. Layla24 will then use its own clock to control its operation. Now a little more complicated set-up: You have two Layla24s connected.
ASIO Direct Monitoring – all products ASIO Direct Monitoring Depending on what software you use, you will have different options for monitoring your audio inputs. The more common type is software monitoring. With software monitoring, your audio application handles mixing inputs to outputs internally (i.e., on the PowerPC processor). Typically, this adds latency, meaning that the audio you hear on the outputs is delayed from the inputs.
ASIO Direct Monitoring – all products Use Direct Monitoring in your software, but don’t use the Console for monitoring. Only use the Console for clock synchronization. I want to use software monitoring Run the Console and mute all the monitors. This will disable hardware monitoring.
ASIO control panel – all products ASIO Control Panel In all ASIO programs you can access the ASIO control panel that lets you control certain driver settings for your Echo24 card. Each ASIO program has a different name for it (ASIO Device Control Panel, Hardware Settings, Driver Setup, etc…) and a different way of accessing it. The “Allow ASIO 2 Direct Monitoring” checkbox does exactly what it say it does. If you don’t want the option of using Direct Monitoring, then make sure this box is unchecked.
ASIO control panel – all products Say, for example, you have a Layla24 and a Mona. Congratulations on your superb taste in purchasing not one but two Echo products. However, say you set Layla24 to ADAT mode and Mona to S/PDIF mode. In ADAT mode, Layla24 will be limited to 48 kHz, while Mona in S/PDIF mode will be able to go up to 96 kHz. This, in turn, presents the ASIO driver with a problem.

This form will be sent to our technical support staff and they will respond to you quickly. Please fill out the form completely.
Appendix A: General Troubleshooting Guide Problem: You can’t get Sound Manager to recognize your Echo card. Solution: The current driver does not support Sound Manager. It only supports ASIO based programs. Problem: You upgraded your computer with a processor upgrade card and now your Echo card doesn’t work. Solution: Your Echo hardware is not compatible with processor upgrade cards. It only supports genuine Apple processors without upgrades.
implemented in devices that are likely to be used in professional recording environments, whereas the consumer mode is commonly implemented on equipment designed for home use in the consumer market. The primary difference between the two modes is in the implementation of the SCMS copy protection bit, which, in the consumer format, prevents the user from making digital copies of a digital copy. In most professional equipment, this copy protection bit can be turned off or on according to the user’s needs.
Problem: Your Echo hardware doesn’t seem to recognize the synchronization clock to which it is connected. Solution: Although it may seem obvious, the first thing to check is that there is a physical connection between the device generating the clock and your Echo audio system. Just because multiple devices are connected to the same computer doesn’t mean they are synchronized. Next, be sure that you have selected the desired input clock source in the Console.
Solution: Not all ¼” plugs are made to the exact same dimensions. Try a plug/cable from a different manufacturer.
Appendix B: ASIO Audio Software FAQ ASIO Software Compatibility List – 11/12/2001 Here is a list of ASIO-compatible applications that we have tested with: Cubase 4.0 Cubase 5.0 Digital Performer 2.61, 2.7 and 3.0 Logic Audio 4.7 or better Peak 2.1 and 2.7 Deck 2.7 Nuendo 1.5.2 Metro 5.0 Echo24 ASIO Driver and ASIO 2.0 Q: Can I use all Echo cards together at the same time in my ASIO program? No. There are two different Echo ASIO drivers. One is for the older Echo hardware (Layla, Gina, Darla & Darla24).
Appendix C: Introduction to Digital Recording Converting Sound into Numbers In a digital recording system, sound is represented as a series of numbers, with each number representing the voltage, or amplitude, of a sound wave at a particular moment in time. The numbers are generated by an analog-todigital converter, or ADC, which converts the signal from an analog audio source (such as a guitar or a microphone) connected to its input into numbers.
Sample Size The more bits that are used to store the sampled value, the more closely it will represent the source signal. In an 8-bit system, there are 256 possible combinations of zeroes and ones, so 256 different analog voltages can be represented. A 16-bit system provides 65,535 possible combinations. A 16bit signal is capable of providing far greater accuracy than an 8-bit signal. Figure B shows how this works. Figure B.
Sample Rate The rate at which the ADC generates the numbers is equally important in determining the quality of a digital recording. To get a high level of accuracy when sampling, the sample rate must be greater than twice the frequency being sampled. The mathematical statement of this is called the Nyquist Theorem. When dealing with full-bandwidth sound (20Hz−20kHz), you should sample at greater than 40,000 times per second (twice 20kHz).
Storing Digital Data Once the waveform has been transformed into digital bits, it must be stored. When sampling in stereo at 48kHz using a 20-bit word size, the system has to accommodate 1,920,000 bits per second. Though this is a lot of data, it is well within the capabilities of personal computers. Most computer-based digital recording systems record the data directly to the computer’s hard disk.
has a voltage level of .775 volts. Since .775 is approximately 2dB less than 1.0, converting dBV levels into dBu levels is as simple as subtracting 2dB (2.21 to be exact). Signals are also occasionally represented with units of dBm. This is an older unit that measures power instead of voltage levels with 0dBm representing 1 milliwatt. Earlier tube-based audio equipment used standardized input and output impedances of 600 ohms, so a 0dBm signal was produced with a voltage of .775 volts.
Unbalanced and Balanced Inputs and Outputs An unbalanced signal, commonly used for guitars and consumer electronics, contains two components, a ground signal and a “hot” or active signal. The ground is the barrel of a ¼” connector and the shell of an “RCA” style connector. A balanced signal contains two active signals instead of one in addition to the ground. These are referred to as the “plus” and “minus” signals. A balanced input amplifier amplifies the difference between these two signals.
Dynamic Range Dynamic range represents the difference between the maximum signal that can be recorded and the “noise floor”, or level of noise with no signal present. A system with a high dynamic range will be quieter than one with a lower dynamic range. Dynamic range is a very important specification and Your Echo hardware uses converters that have very high dynamic range. Theoretically, a 24-bit system has a dynamic range of 144dB and a 16-bit system has a dynamic range of 96dB.
