NVR10 | Quick Start Guide 1

Thank you for choosing the M-Audio NRV10 FireWire mixer. The NRV10 combines a high-quality analog mixer
with an integrated 10-in/10-out FireWire digital audio interface, allowing you to record up to ten channels of audio
directly into your computer-based DAW, as well as to bring audio from your DAW back to its analog mixer channels.
Its low-latency FireWire drivers support high-resolution sample rates of up to 96kHz at a bit depth of up to 24 bits,
and its compact footprint makes it ideal for studio and live use.

This Quick Start Guide is designed to give you a very basic overview of the NRV10, in order to get you set up and
running quickly. Even if you’re an experienced computer user and recording enthusiast, we suggest you take the time
to read the accompanying User Guide, found on the included CD-ROM. It will familiarize you with the unit’s more
advanced features, and help you to get the most out of your NRV10.
