Usb Connection - Phonic ACAPELA 16 Manual Del Usuario

USB Connection

The Acapela 16 has two additional channels that are
available through USB. Channels 17 and 18 feature
all the same functions as all other channels, includ-
ing 4-band EQs, dynamics, and delay. These two
channels can be routed to the main, control room,
auxiliaries and groups just as any regular channel.
The signal returned back to the computer can be
selected by you, the user. Go into the USB AUDIO
OUT tab in the Acapela software and you'll be able
to select any two of the Acapela's mixes to use for
these outputs.
When a stereo mix is sent to the Acapela from the
computer, please pan channel 17 left and channel 18
to the right to create a proper stereo effect.
The USB port used for this audio interface is not either
of the A and B connectors available for a USB mouse
or flash drive. The USB-B port labeled CH17/18 can
be used to utilize the audio USB interface.
