Begin by running the Alesis installer(s).  These programs (there 

may be one or more than one) will install three very important 

components onto your computer: 

 

• 

Drivers.  These are the system components 

that allow Microsoft Windows to identify and 

interact with your IO|14/26.  You do not 

interact with the drivers directly, but they must 

be installed on your computer for the 

IO|14/26 to work. 

 

• 

Control Panel.  The control panel allows you to 

set sample rates, clock sources, buffer sizes, 

and other settings. 

 

• 

Hardware Direct Monitoring Panel.  This 

application lets you route the IO|14/26’s 

inputs directly to its outputs for a minimum 

of  latency (delay) when recording. 

 

The Hardware Direct Monitoring Panel also 

allows you to change Headphone2 and 

S/PDIF output assignments. 

 

For each of  the several installations that occur, click “Continue 

Anyway” if  Windows warns you that the drivers have not passed 

Microsoft Logo Certification. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Important:  Download and install the drivers from http://www.alesis.com--
or  insert the software CD into your computer’s CD drive—BEFORE you 

plug your IO|14/26 into your computer for the first time.
