Insert the headphone plug from the headset/headphones into the female end of the 12″ extension cable. If you are using speakers, plug the speakers directly into the female end of the 1/4″ headphone adapter.

5 – If you are using a headset, insert the microphone plug from the headset into the female end of the BOYA XLR adapter. If you are using a lapel microphone, insert the male plug from the lapel microphone into the female end of the BOYA XLR adapter.

6 – Align the male pins in the BOYA connector with the microphone XLR connector on the interface labeled “1” and fully insert the BOYA adapter into the interface.

7 – Select the USB cable based on the USB connection on your computer that you want to use and connect the USB cable between the USB connection on the back of the interface and your computer.

On the front panel, raise the “Main” control knob to about half (12 o’clock). Adjust this as needed to get a good level in your backup recording device.

12 – Open your CAT recording program and select the Presonus interface as the recording input device. Please adjust your levels so that you are able to hear the other ZOOM participants, they can hear you and everyone is recorded clearly. Please do this well in advance of your first important ZOOM meeting.
