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 drivers). 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 automatically start the
installation process within a few moments, then navigate to "My Computer" g your CD-ROM drive g "FireWire Drivers and Control
Panel" or "USB Drivers and Control Panel" g run "setup.exe" to begin the installation manually. 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.
