1. About the Conectiv Drivers

Conectiv ships with a special set of audio drivers. These ASIO-compliant drivers

enable your computer to process sound efﬁciently, provide low latency and high

performance, and give full access to all of Conectiv’s inputs and outputs when

using audio applications such as Torq. You must install these drivers to get the best

performance from Conectiv.

While your computer will recognize Conectiv even if these drivers are not installed,

the included Torq software will not run and other audio applications may have

undesirably high latency. Furthermore, audio applications may not have full access

to all of Conectiv’s inputs and outputs if the drivers are not installed.

We advise all users to install the Conectiv drivers using the instructions below.

2. Windows XP Installation

1. We recommend that you download the most recent Conectiv drivers by

going to the Support > Drivers page at www.m-audio.com. This ensures

that you have the newest drivers available. If you do not have Internet

access, insert the SynchroScience CD-ROM into your computer to

install the drivers that came with Conectiv.

a. If you are installing drivers from the SynchroScience CD-ROM, the

computer will automatically display the interactive install screen

when the CD-ROM is inserted. If your computer fails to launch

this application, you can manually start it by clicking on Start > My

Computer > SynchroScience.

Next, select your product from the menu and click “Install.”

b. If you are installing drivers from www.m-audio.com, simply double-

click the ﬁle once it has ﬁnished downloading.

PLEASE NOTE: Make sure Conectiv is not connected to

your computer when you begin the installation. The following

instructions will indicate when you should connect the

interface to your computer.

< Connect your turntables, CD players, or other line-level devices to

wire, be sure to connect each turntable’s ground wire to the grounding

connector located on the rear of the interface.

< Attach Conectiv’s outputs to your DJ mixer, powered speakers, or other

destination:

• If you are using an external DJ mixer, connect both outputs A and B

to separate line level inputs on your mixer.

• If you are mixing through your DJ software and are routing Conectiv’s

outputs directly to an ampliﬁer or powered speakers, connect

output pair A to your destination device.

< Connect your headphones to the 1/4” headphone output on the front of

the interface. Alternatively, if you are using an external DJ mixer, you may

want to connect your headphones to the DJ mixer’s headphone output.

< If you’d like to use a microphone, connect a dynamic microphone to

Conectiv’s 1/4” microphone input on the front.

< Attach Conectiv to an available USB port on your computer using the

provided USB cable.

< If you want to use Conectiv in standalone mode for the purpose of

using its phono preamps without a host computer, or if your computer

cannot supply sufﬁcient bus power to Conectiv, attach an optional power

adapter to the DC Power jack on the rear panel. The power adapter can

be ordered from the M-Audio Webstore (www.m-audio.com).
