with AXE I/O ONE. MIDI messages associated with these controllers are freely assignable from the “Control
Software”.
4 Setup your DAW
The AXE I/O ONE is compatible with any Windows-based DAW that supports ASIO or any Mac-based DAW
that uses Core Audio. After installing AXE I/O ONE Control Software and connecting the hardware, you can start
using your AXE I/O ONE with your DAW.
It is possible that your DAW may not automatically select the AXE I/O ONE as its default I/O device. In this case,
you must manually select the AXE I/O ONE as the audio hardware on your DAW’s Audio Setup page. Please
refer to your DAW’s documentation (or Help files) if you are unsure where to select the ASIO/Core Audio driver.
Once the AXE I/O ONE is set as the preferred Audio Device in your DAW, the single input and the 3 outputs will
appear in your DAW’s Audio I/O preferences.
5 Connecting microphone
Always connect microphones to AXE I/O ONE with XLR-to-XLR balanced cables. This will ensure a pristine and
clean performance from your microphone with AXE I/O ONE.
NOTE: In your audio software, select the AXE I/O ONE as the input source of the track you will be recording to.
Adjust the channel gain knob until you have a sufficient audio signal without clipping.
5.1 Condenser microphone
Most condenser microphones require external 48V phantom power. If phantom power is ON, switch it OFF,
and then connect your microphone. Turn phantom power ON only after the microphone is connected. Once it’s
turned ON, check that the phantom power LED has become red.
5.2 Dynamic microphone
Before connecting dynamic microphones make sure that phantom power is turned OFF. Check that the
Phantom LED is turned off.
5.3 Ribbon microphone
Before connecting a ribbon microphone, turn OFF phantom power and check the microphone’s operating
instruction manual to see if it requires it. Most ribbon microphones don’t require phantom power, and some can
even be damaged by it. If you’re in doubt just leave it OFF. If the microphone won’t work, check its user manual,
it may need phantom power.
