USB connection (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency).
No Driver Installation Required (page 8)
The AUDIOGRAM system uses the standard drivers included in your computer’s operating system,
so there’s no need to install any extra driver software.
Cubase AI DAW Software Supplied (page 8)
Cubase AI software, included in the AUDIOGRAM package, offers versatile, high-performance hard-
disk recording capability.
48V Phantom Power (page 18)
A PHANTOM switch supplies +48V phantom power to the channel 1 microphone input, so you can
use high-quality phantom-powered condenser microphones for superior recording quality.

In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating an
audio file. Mixes can be stored as WAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to audio
CDs.
1
Launch Cubase AI and open a project file.
2
Click the [Start] button on the Transport Panel.
3
While listening to playback, drag the channel strip level faders up and down to create
the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the bus volume fader.
4
Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo
position of each track.
5
At this point you can begin to use EQ to refine your mix, and add effects.
As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to
open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Inserts 1 and select “Reverb - RoomWorks SE.
For further details refer to the pdf manual provided with the Cubase AI software.
It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit before adding an effect, since the effect
can cause an increase in the overall channel level.

1 PHANTOM +48V Switch/Indicator
This switch toggles phantom power on and
off. If you set the switch on ( ), the
AUDIOGRAM supplies phantom power to
the MIC/INST jack (XLR-type)
8. Turn this
switch on when using a phantom-powered
condenser microphone.
Be sure to leave this switch off
( ) if you do not need phantom
power.
When turning the switch on, be
sure that only a condenser micro-
phone is connected to the MIC/
INST input jack. Other devices
may be damaged if connected to
phantom power. This precaution
does not apply to balanced
dynamic microphones or instru-
ments with the phone jack, how-
ever, as these will not be affected
by phantom power.
•To prevent damage to speakers,
be sure to turn off audio system
(monitor speakers) before turn-
ing this switch on or off. We also
recommend that you set the OUT
LEVEL control to the minimum
position. Neglect of these pre-
cautions may result in large
noise bursts that may damage
your equipment, your ears, or
both.
2 MIC/INST Switch
Set this switch according to the type of
device connected. Select MIC ( ) if a
microphone is connected, or INST ( ) if
an electric guitar or bass is connected.

. The SIGNAL
LED lights when a signal is present, and
the PEAK LED lights when the signal
reaches or exceeds clipping level. Adjust
the input channel LEVEL controls
3
so
that the PEAK LEDs flash only briefly on
occasional high-level peaks or not at all.
6 OUT LEVEL Control
Adjusts the signal level sent to the STE-
REO OUT jacks
0. This allows you to
adjust the overall volume without changing
the relative volume balance among the

Troubleshooting
The AUDIOGRAM interface won’t turn on.
Is the included USB cable properly plugged into the interface and a computer?
The system doesn’t work properly.
Are the USB cable and all necessary audio cables properly connected?
Are you using a USB hub?
USB hubs can interfere with proper operation, so try connecting the AUDIOGRAM interface
directly to a USB port on the computer. If the computer has multiple USB ports, try a different
