Echo 8 User Manual

 
Now that you have logged in as an administrator, checked the OS X version, and 
updated your software, you are ready to install your AudioFire product in your 
computer. 
 
1.  Install the AudioFire Console. Insert the AudioFire Install CD-ROM into your 

machine. Double-click on “Open this to start.” Click on the “Install AudioFire 
Console” button and follow the on-screen instructions.  This is also a good time 
to copy the manual to your hard drive as well. 

 
2.  Once you have installed the console, locate the AudioFire interface box, the 

power cable, and the FireWire cable. If you are installing an AudioFire8 or 
AudioFire12, securely mount the interface into your equipment rack. If you 
will not be mounting the box in a rack, then be sure to place the interface box in 
a secure location.   

 
3.  If you have AudioFire8 or AudioFire12, plug the power cable firmly into the 

interface and a power socket, and then turn on the interface by pressing the 
power button. If you have AudioFire2 or AudioFire4 your AudioFire can be 
powered directly through FireWire. No external power supply is needed.  The 
DC adapter is included for users of Windows notebook computers that have 
only an unpowered, 4-pin FireWire connector. 

 
4.  Plug one end of the FireWire cable into the FireWire connector on the rear of 

the AudioFire interface. Attach the other end of the FireWire cable to an open 
FireWire port on your computer. (If the connector does not match the port on 
your computer then you will need to get an adapter.) 

 
5.  Your Mac will automatically recognize your new AudioFire product without 

any fanfare. See the “Software Configuration” section below for more info.
