GETTING STARTED

Windows XP

1. Connect the USB-1C to the computer using the supplied USB cable. The LED will light to indicate

that the microphone is receiving USB power. Windows will automatically install the universal driv-
ers. The USB-1C is now recognized as a windows audio device. To set your USB-1C as the default
device and change computer-controlled gain, access the control panel.

2. Access Sounds and Audio Devices through the control panel.
3. Select “Nady USB Microphone” as Sound recording Default device under the Audio tab. The default

device is used in simple programs like those for teleconferencing or Sound Recorder. In most pro
audio programs you can select which device (or multiple devices) to use within the program itself. To
set computer-controlled gain, click the Volume button.

4. The Wave In window sets the computer controlled gain or mutes the microphone.
