operate the device.

Driver Installation

To use the Firefly 808 on a PC, it is important to install all the necessary drivers from the included CD (ASIO and WDM driv-
ers). It is important that users read all instructions carefully before continuing on to the each step of installation, as users
will be required to unplug and plug in their FireWire device. These drivers are not necessary for Mac users, however Mac
users may wish to install our Mixer software from the included CD. It's important to remember that the driver you install will
depend on whether you are using FireWire or USB, so make sure you install the right one!
Windows XP (with Service Pack 1 or 2) / Vista
1. It is recommended that you quit all applications before starting the installation process.
2. Ensure the Firefly is not yet connected to your Computer's FireWire or USB input.
3. Insert the installation CD included with your Firefly into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. If the CD does not auto-
matically start the installation process within a few moments, then navigate to "My Computer"
"FireWire Drivers and Control Panel" or "USB Drivers and Control Panel"
ally. The Phonic Control Panel software and the Firefly 808 Universal Mixer software will also be installed at this time.
4. Follow the installation instructions. The following applies to the USB driver installation, however the FireWire installation
is almost identical.
