INFORMATION FOR THE USER

The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment

This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a CLASS B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions contained in this data sheet, may
cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
* reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
* increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver

* connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver

* consult the dealer or an experienced audio television technician.

Note: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with CLASS B

requirements or using an unshielded peripheral data cable could also result in harmful interference
to radio or television reception. The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment. To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it
is necessary to use shielded I/O cables.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This device has been tested and found to comply with the following standards:

· International: CISPR22 Class B

· Europe: EMC 89/336/CEE (1992) specifications.

· United States: FCC Rules-Part 15-Class B (digital device).

For best compliance with these standards, Digigram recommends to use audio shielded cables shorter
than three meters.

FEATURES

CANCUN 222-Mic and CANCUN 442-Mic are professional audio interface for USB ports
(compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hosts).
They are powered via USB. In some configurations (typically when using several static

5

microphones, it may be necessary to connect the CANCUN device to two different USB Ports
so as to get enough current from the PC). CANCUN devices are delivered with a ‘Y’ USB cable
allowing powering the device from two USB ports.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Connect the mini-B USB connector of the provided USB cable to the mini-B USB port located underneath
CANCUN.

7

Connect the standard type A male USB connector of the provided USB cable to a USB port (USB

2.0) or your computer.
It will then automatically be detected by the operating system.
Under Windows operating systems, it is necessary to install the driver package for Windows
(because Windows OS don’t support USB Audio 2.0).

Note: If you have several USB peripherals connected to the same USB controller of your
computer, they may consume more energy than the USB controller can provide. In this
case, disconnect some of these peripherals.
