INSTALLATION
1. Turn your computer on and connect the
Firefly 302 USB to the computer via the
included USB cable. It is recommended
not to turn the unit's power on just yet,
however.
2. Run the setup.exe file on the included
driver CD, and follow the installation
instructions displayed on screen.
3. When prompted to "disconnect and recon-
nect" the Firefly, change the power select
switch on the rear of the device to DC
IN.
4. Continue to follow the on-screen installa-
tion instructions to finalize the setup.
5. Open your audio editing / DAW software,
and check the Firefly's ASIO driver has
been read successfully by the program.
This is usually done in the "Devices"
submenu. You may also want to edit
the Firefly's properties. This is usually
done by clicking on the Tools pull down
menu, and selecting "Properties". In this
area, you can usually select the Firefly's
different inputs and outputs, and assign
them to various channels. This, of course,
depends on the software you are using,
so check the software's user's manual for
more information.

QUICK START
1. Connect the DC converter to the 9-12V
jack in and change the power selector
switch to the DC IN position.
2. Plug your USB cable into Firefly's USB
port and the other end into any available
USB port on your computer. Provided you
have already installed the required driver,
the computer should detect your Firefly
302 USB.
3. Connect a microphone to the XLR input
connector. Talk into the mic and check the
LED sig and clip indicators. Adjust the Mic
level control as you see necessary.
4. Connect any analog line inputs you wish to
use. We advise that you do not attempt to
use the 1/4" and RCA connectors on any
one input channel at the same time.
5. Open your audio software and configure
it so the Firefly 302 USB is set as your
input/output device. Please note that the
analog and S/PDIF outputs cannot be
used to output the signal from the com-
puter simultaneously.
6. Plug your headphones into the head-
phone output of the Firefly to monitor the
return signal.
7. Now you are ready to design high resolu-
tion audio productions.
