INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Digitrack, a USB interface that allows you to easily record
digital audio on the computer and play back recordings with superior sound quality.
Digitrack accepts digital and analog audio signals and connects to the computer
through the USB port. Plug the USB cable into the computer and you instantly get high-
quality 16-bit digital stereo audio with sampling rates up to 48 KHz. Digitrack protects
the audio from sound degradation that can result from computer grounding noise, and
S/PDIF input and output let you avoid digital-to-analog-to-digital conversion, which also
can degrade signal quality.
Use Digitrack to transfer analog or digital audio to the computer from a mixer, CD
player or tape deck to create high quality digital recordings. Digitrack also provides
a convenient way to play back audio from the computer through home stereo and
professional sound systems. A headphone output lets you monitor the signal and
also provides a better audio experience when listening to computer audio. Best of all,
Phonic's Digitrack is extremely portable. It gets power from the computer through the
USB cable so you don't have to carry around a bulky power adapter.

'Sound recording'. When installed correctly, Digitrack will function as the soundcard
for your computer.

automatically install it. To conrm that it has installed correctly open your computer's
System Preferences. In the 'Sound for Input and Output' the 'USB Audio Driver' should
be selected. When installed correctly, Digitrack will function as the soundcard for your
