Connecting the Microphone to Your Computer (Windows)

The MXL® Studio 1 USB microphone will operate with both USB 2.0 (high

speed USB) and USB 1.1 data buses. We recommend you connect your

microphone directly to the computer’s USB port as opposed to using a USB

hub. USB hubs have been known to interfere with the performance of various

USB devices.

PLEASE NOTE: Audio and video recording can be very taxing to a computer’s

resources. For this reason, you should close any and all running applications that

are non essential.

Please take the following steps to get connected:

If open, close your audio recording application. You will open it after the 1.

microphone is connected and operational.

Connect the remaining end of the USB cable to the computer’s USB port. 2.

You will see a red LED illuminate behind the microphones grill and Win-

dows will display the New Hardware Found dialog message.

Allow Windows time to identify the device.3.

In approximately one minute, Windows should display a dialog message 4.

stating that Your New Hardware is Installed and Ready for Use. After this

ﬁ rst connection, Windows will require just a few moments to identify the

microphone.
