GETTING STARTED WITH THE SADIE LRX2

CONNECTING THE LRX2

Your LRX2 will be supplied with a USB2 (A to B) cable, and a 12V DC power supply (PSU), with a
mains plug appropriate to your geographical location.

Your USB2 cable will have an "A" type end and a "B" type end.

USB "A" Type connector

1. Connect the Power Supply via the 4-pin XLR connector to the LRX2 unit, and plug in to an
appropriate mains supply.

2. Plug the "A" type connector in to a USB2 or Hi-Speed socket on the back of your PC, and plug
the "B" type connector in to the USB2 socket on the LRX2 unit.

NOTE: The LRX2 unit must use a USB2 connection and will not operate with a standard slow
USB port.

3. If this is the first time you have connected the LRX2 to this computer, and the software has
not yet been installed, after a short while a Windows' "Welcome to the Found New Hardware
Wizard" message box will appear. On this first occasion only you should press the cancel
button. This may be followed by another message warning that your hardware may not work
correctly. This is OK – the software installation will resolve this. Now proceed to Installing the
Software below……

4. At other times, once the software has been installed, whenever you connect the LRX2 you
should wait for Windows’ plug-and-play routine to complete and allow Windows to install the
hardware drivers automatically. Wait until there is notification that the hardware is ready to use
before running the SADiE or MTR software.
NOTE:- we occasionally get calls from users who have cancelled the Windows plug-and-play
routine and in this case the hardware will not work, and there will be an error message on
starting the software. You must allow Windows to complete this procedure.
Allow Windows to find the driver automatically; if it asks for a location for the
“SadieUsbLibw.sys” driver, it will be found in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder.

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

1. Before installing the software, you should connect power and then a USB lead between the
PC and the LRX2 unit as per the previous page.

2. You will have been provided with a CD-ROM containing the software installer. Place the disk
in the CD-ROM drive. It should auto-run and a menu will appear.

(NOTE: If the CD does not auto-run, press the Windows™ "Start" button; select "Run" and
type: "D:\autorun" - if you are installing from CD-ROM. In this example D: is the letter of your
CD-ROM drive. That may not be the case, so use the correct letter for your drive.)

3. Press the “LRX” button on the main menu, and then press the “Install SADiE v6 Software”
button on the next page.

4. Follow the instructions on screen as you run through the setup program. You will be asked
which software (of four possible choices) you wish to install – you should choose SADiE5 (and
MTR if you wish to be able to run the simplified Multi-Track Recorder software).

5. A SADiE6 icon to run the full SADIE6 software will appear on your desktop, along with an
MTR icon if you’d chosen to install that software too.

6. When the software installer reports that it is finished, you can double-click on the SADiE6 icon
to run the software.

7. The first time you start the SADiE6 or MTR software, a message will appear……

– say Yes, and then navigate the browser to your CD-ROM’s root directory where you should
see an “SPW” file which contains authorisation codes.

8. This will install any other plug-ins that you may have bought, along with 30-day evaluation
period licences for other plug-ins. The list of the plug-ins that are installed is found in the Help
menu of SADiE, under the Plugins item.

9. The SADiE software will start.

More detailed instructions on operation of the SADiE software are included with the software itself,
and are available from the Help menu.

A PDF of the Help file is included on the CD-ROM provided. Note that this also includes a
troubleshooting and FAQ section at the end of the manual.

Printed copies of the manual are available from your dealer.
