USB connection (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency).
No Driver Installation Required (page 8)
The AUDIOGRAM system uses the standard drivers included in your computer’s operating system,
so there’s no need to install any extra driver software.
Cubase AI DAW Software Supplied (page 8)
Cubase AI software, included in the AUDIOGRAM package, offers versatile, high-performance hard-
disk recording capability.
48V Phantom Power (page 18)
A PHANTOM switch supplies +48V phantom power to the channel 1 microphone input, so you can
use high-quality phantom-powered condenser microphones for superior recording quality.

In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating an
audio file. Mixes can be stored as WAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to audio
CDs.
1
Launch Cubase AI and open a project file.
2
Click the [Start] button on the Transport Panel.
3
While listening to playback, drag the channel strip level faders up and down to create
the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the bus volume fader.
4
Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo
position of each track.
5
At this point you can begin to use EQ to refine your mix, and add effects.
As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to
open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Inserts 1 and select “Reverb - RoomWorks SE.
For further details refer to the pdf manual provided with the Cubase AI software.
It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit before adding an effect, since the effect
can cause an increase in the overall channel level.

1 PHANTOM +48V Switch/Indicator
This switch toggles phantom power on and
off. If you set the switch on ( ), the
AUDIOGRAM supplies phantom power to
the MIC/INST jack (XLR-type)
8. Turn this
switch on when using a phantom-powered
condenser microphone.
Be sure to leave this switch off
( ) if you do not need phantom
power.
When turning the switch on, be
sure that only a condenser micro-
phone is connected to the MIC/
INST input jack. Other devices
may be damaged if connected to
phantom power. This precaution
does not apply to balanced
dynamic microphones or instru-
ments with the phone jack, how-
ever, as these will not be affected
by phantom power.
•To prevent damage to speakers,
be sure to turn off audio system
(monitor speakers) before turn-
ing this switch on or off. We also
recommend that you set the OUT
LEVEL control to the minimum
position. Neglect of these pre-
cautions may result in large
noise bursts that may damage
your equipment, your ears, or
both.
2 MIC/INST Switch
Set this switch according to the type of
device connected. Select MIC ( ) if a
microphone is connected, or INST ( ) if
an electric guitar or bass is connected.

. The SIGNAL
LED lights when a signal is present, and
the PEAK LED lights when the signal
reaches or exceeds clipping level. Adjust
the input channel LEVEL controls
3
so
that the PEAK LEDs flash only briefly on
occasional high-level peaks or not at all.
6 OUT LEVEL Control
Adjusts the signal level sent to the STE-
REO OUT jacks
0. This allows you to
adjust the overall volume without changing
the relative volume balance among the

Troubleshooting
The AUDIOGRAM interface won’t turn on.
Is the included USB cable properly plugged into the interface and a computer?
The system doesn’t work properly.
Are the USB cable and all necessary audio cables properly connected?
Are you using a USB hub?
USB hubs can interfere with proper operation, so try connecting the AUDIOGRAM interface
directly to a USB port on the computer. If the computer has multiple USB ports, try a different

Troubleshooting
The sound is intermittent or distorted.
Is the PEAK LED flashing red?
You might have to lower LEVEL control levels to avoid distortion.
Are any other applications, device drivers, or USB devices (scanners, printers, etc.) running at
the same time?
Be sure to quit all applications you are not using.
Are you playing back a large number of audio tracks?
The number of tracks you can play at the same time will depend on the performance of the com-
puter you are using. You may experience intermittent playback if you exceed your computer’s
capabilities.
Are you recording or playing long continuous sections of audio?
The audio data processing capabilities of your computer will depend on a number of factors
including CPU speed and access to external devices.
On Windows XP computers, changing some settings as outlined below can improve perfor-
mance.
1. Click [Control Panel] from the [START] menu, and double-click the “Sounds and Audio
Devices” icon to open the “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties” dialog window.
2. Click the “Volume” tab and click “Advanced” in “Speaker settings.” The “Advanced Audio
Properties” dialog window will open.
3. Click the “Performance” tab. Set “Hardware acceleration” to “Full”, and “Sample rate conver-
sion quality” to “Good.”
Don’t change these settings if you are not familiar with your computer’s operating system.
Check that the file system is set properly, and make sure that you have a plenty of free memory
(more than 128 megabytes). If the audio files you are recording or playing are not too large,
changing the virtual memory settings can sometimes improve audio performance.
In some cases it might be necessary to update your hard disk controller, device drivers, or BIOS.
Refer to your computer’s support center or support page on the web for more information.
Try adding memory.
Adding more RAM memory can significantly increase your computer’s audio performance. Refer
to your computer’s owner’s manual for information on installing and setting up extra memory.
There is a delay when playing a software synthesizer via a MIDI keyboard (latency).
