Firewire + Usb Operation - Phonic IS16v1 Manual Del Usuario

...Connect an amplifier to the IS16?
The easiest way to use the IS16 in live situations is to connect the
Main XLR outputs on the rear of the IS16 to an amplifier's input,
or else to the input of a couple of active speakers. For a surround
system, you may also want to use the 1/4" Multi outputs. You can
assign any of your AUX or Group mixes to the Multi outputs, so
making a submix for your rear speakers should be a piece of cake.
...Solo without cutting off the Main Mix?
When you typically solo a signal, the channel's send to the main
mix is effectively cut off and the signal is redirected to the Control
Room mix. To avoid this, you need to set this channel to SOLO
SAFE. This is done by entering the View menu, then going into
the Control Room tab. Here you can push the SOLO SAFE button
and then select the channels you wish to set as safe solos. When
SOLO SAFE is active on a channel, the word SAFE will appear
within the solo button.

FireWire + USB Operation

Software Installation Guide
Windows
It is important to follow the correct installation procedure to
ensure software installs successfully. The following method is
for Windows users.
1. Start the driver installation (setup.exe). Please note that
the FireWire and USB drivers are separate and you will
need to install the appropriate driver depending on which
connection you wish to use.
2. Connect the device to the PC only when asked to by
the installer. If you try connecting the device before the
installer runs, Windows' own installer may take over and
try to install standard Windows drivers – which naturally
will not work.
Once the device driver has been properly installed, you should
be able to disconnect and reconnect the same unit at a later date
and have it recognized by the Phonic Control Panel.
It is important to note that for multi-device support you should
run the driver installer for each new device you wish to connect
to your computer, even if it is an identical device (e.g. a second
IS16 digital mixer). This is because the installer will add registry
entries that contain the device's GUID – or, in other words, its
identification number.
Mac OSX
Mac users who are using Garageband or Logic Pro will simply
need to connect the IS16 to their Mac via FireWire or USB and
the unit will be automatically recognized. If using other programs,
such as Cubase, users will need to create an aggregated device
to make full use of the unit. This process is discussed in the
Daisy-Chaining section.
Daisy-Chaining
FireWire is a 'real' bus, connecting all daisy-chained devices into
one big network. The devices are distinguished by their GUID.
Devices with only one FireWire port can only be so-called 'leafs'
on the bus (the far end of the chain; the bus ends there).
For the Mac's FireWire port, there is no restriction as far as daisy-
chaining of FireWire devices is concerned. For example, when
connection two IS16 mixers to a Mac, these can be controlled by
means of an aggregated driver.

How to aggregate two or more devices:
1. Open "Audio MIDI Setup"
2. Select in menu bar "Audio"  "Open Aggregate Device
Editor"
3. Add a new aggregate device with "+" and name it
4. Select the devices
5. Select "done"
6. You can then select the aggregate device in the Audio MIDI
Setup
Please find a detailed description on the Apple website: http://

For Windows, simply ensure that you have installed the device
driver once for each instance of the IS16 that will be used on the
computer. After doing so, you should be able to connect both
units in a daisy-chain and have them recognized by the Phonic
Control Panel.
After connecting multiple units to your computer, you need to
create proper synchronization setup. One unit has to be a master
device, and everything else must be a slave to this.
• Set the "Clock Source" to e.g. IS16 (make sure it is not the
PC or Mac)
• Setup the other IS16 to sync to 'SYT'
Please note that daisy-chaining is not possible through USB, as it
is not a real bus – rather a point-to-point connection.
FireWire/USB Compatibility
Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 are supported through use
of the ASIO driver. Microsoft have also enhanced the audio stack
from Windows 7 to support S800, therefore Windows 7 users with
an S800 interface will be able to run their IS16 on this system
provided they have the latest updates and hotfixes installed.
The FireWire + USB 2.0 expansion card is also compatible with Mac
OSX 10.6.2 Core Audio and later. As of this writing, OSX 10.10.3 has
been tested and is compatible. Please ensure all available updates
from Apple have been installed to ensure flawless operation. Also,
if using an S800 FireWire connector, be sure to use an appropriate
S400 adapter.
IS16 Control Panel
The IS16 control panel can be accessed at any time by entering
choosing the shortcut from your Programs menu. This program
will not only allow users to alter their device and channel names
and properties, but will also let them correct for latency issues,
change sampling rates and so forth. When opening the software,
a number of options will be available for users to select from,
allowing them to adjust the available properties.
Devices
In the Devices section, users are able to view and edit the name
of the Phonic Device connected to their computer.
