It's intended to get your audio working quickly in slightly more than 140 characters. Plug microphones into the Mic Inputs using standard XLR mic cables. Condenser mics need the MIC +48V switch position. [. . . ] RECORD OUTPUT The RCA line-level outputs are unbalanced. Both RCA jacks contain the same mono mix of the Mic, Aux, and USB Audio inputs. MAIN OUTPUT The Main Output is a mono balanced XLR jack. Connect the Main Output XLR using mic cable to your amplifier or powered loudspeaker and select the LINE position on the adjacent switch. If the Main Output feeds a microphone snake or mic input, select the MIC switch position. USB AUDIO PORT Connect a USB cable from this port to the computer's USB port. Once the operating system recognizes the AM1 as a stereo input and output "sound card, " the rear panel USB indicator lights. The AM1 can simultaneously playback and record via a computer using this USB audio port. RAD PORT If your audio system delivers the AM1's Main Output audio mix using Rane's digital audio transport technology exiting the RAD Port, connect a shielded Ethernet patch cable to the RAD Port. When the Rane Mongoose at the other end of this connection recognizes the AM1's RAD Port, audio nirvana is achieved and all four adjacent RAD Port Status indicators illuminate. CASCADE IN Connect a shielded Ethernet patch cable from the CASCADE IN port to a Rane AM2's CASCADE OUT port to add more mics to the mic mix of an AM1. All four CASCADE IN Status Indicators illuminate when the two devices recognize each other. Connect up to seven Rane AM2 Automixers to add up to 56 more mics. Be certain to connect CASCADE OUT to CASCADE IN throughout ­ otherwise, nirvana won't be achieved. Note: Only one AM1 Automixer is permitted in a cascaded system. When cascading mixers, the AM1 must be the device that feeds the Mongoose. In other words, the AM1 RAD Port wires to the Mongoose, and up to seven AM2 mixers chain together into the AM1's CASCADE IN. See the illustration below. Mongoose MONGOOSE MADE IN U. S. A. 100-240 V 50/60 Hz 40 WATTS THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES FOR A CLASS 'B' COMPUTING DEVICE.

[. . . ] This makes many popular audio software programs instantly compatible with the AM1. Once the computer's operating system finishes registering the AM1 via USB, the rear panel USB indicator lights. The AM1 always registers as a 16-bit, 48 kHz device. Most audio programs work after setting the AM1 as a default device, but a few programs may need their preferences manually set to play or record at 16-bit, 48 kHz. [. . . ]
