Connect the mixer/interface to your computer with the USB cable.
All Red, Gray and Yellow knobs and faders should be set to 0 at the beginning. All Blue and Orange knobs should be centered at the beginning.
In the Audio tab of the “Butt” Settings, you can now select the mixer as the audio device.
Connect the headphone amplifier to power using the 24V power cord.
All knobs should be set to 0 at the beginning.
Connect the mixer/interface to the headphone amplifier with the RCA (Cinch) cable. Use the "Monitors Out" connector on the mixing console for this purpose.
When you are done with the basic setup it should look like this:
Now you can connect all headphones for monitoring to the headphone amplifier. If you don't need the included adapter, just put it aside and try not to lose it.
You can now also connect all microphones, instruments, etc. to the mixer. If you have never used a mixer before, you might want to look at a few tutorials first.
You should level each input channel with the Gain & Mix knobs.
You should level the master mix with the fader.
You should level your monitor headphones using the “monitors” knob at the mixer and the knobs on the headphone amplifier.
If everything is properly levelled, your mix should sound good. The mixer and Butt should show a maximum level of just under 0db.
