3.2.1 Using Revelator for System Audio
The easiest way to make your Revelator seen by just about any application on your
computer is to set it up as the default sound source for your computer. Not only
will this prompt most video conferencing and streaming applications to look for
Revelator, it will also set your default Internet browser to use Revelator as well.
Power User Tip: Setting your Revelator as the default sound card for your system will also
route music streaming applications like Spotify and Apple Music to the headphone
output on your new microphone. If you do not want to use your microphone this way, it is
best to configure Revelator as the audio I/O only for the applications for which you want
to use it.
macOS
1. From the Apple Menu, go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Sound.
3. Click on the Outputs tab and select Revelator from the device list. This will route
all audio from your computer to the headphone output on your Revelator.
