GETTING STARTED

Congratulations

on

your

of Pro AudioSpectrum

MACTM

(hereafter

called

PAS

16 Mac) from

Media

Vision, Incorporated.

This combination

of

hardware

and

software greatly

expands

the

capabilities

of

your

Macintosh computer.

For

example,

you'll

be

able to:

• Increase

the

quality

of

sound

input

and

output

for

your

Macintosh.

• Connect a

variety

of

other

devices

to

your

Macintosh

for

greater flexibility

with

both

input

and

output

operations.

You

don't

need

to

know

much

about

sound,

or

the

way

your

Macintosh

uses

it,

to get

the

most

out

of

your

PAS

16

Mac. However,

if

you'd

like to

learn

a little

more about

sound

theories (such as digitizing

methods

and

sampling

rates),

take

a

few

minutes

and

read

SOUND THEORYbeginning

on

page 29.

This

guide explains

how

to install

your

PAS

16

Mac

hardware

and

software.

You'll also find instructions

for

using

your

new

equipment -such

as

how

to con-

nect

other

input

and

output

devices. Please follow all instructions

in

this guide

closely to

ensure

that

your

PAS

16

Mac

equipment

works

properly.
