Installing the ProCast Mio is a simple procedure that takes just a few minutes. Since the ProCast Mio is USB class
compliant, you can use either a Mac or PC, connect the included USB cable, and plug and play. You will be able to
control your ProCast Mio using the standard audio interface controls in the Mac or Windows operating system. You will
find detailed instructions on setting up with Mac OS and Windows in the following sections of this manual.
Getting Started with Mac OS X
The following example is for setting up the ProCast Mio in Mac OS X .
1. Plug in the ProCast Mio.The LED will light to indicate it is receiving USB power. The Mac will recognize the USB audio
device and automatically install a universal driver.
2. To select the Miktek Mio as the computer’s audio input, open the System Preferences from the dock or the main
Apple Menu.
3. Next open the Sound preference panel.
4. Now, click in the Input tab and select Miktek Mio.
5. Next, click in the Output tab and select Miktek Mio.
At this point you can begin using your microphone with most any audio recording software, but you need to select it as
an input and output device within the DAW. When selecting the inputs and outputs just look for and select the Miktek
ProCast.
Plug and Play - Most Mac OS DAWs, like Apple’s GarageBand, will let you plug and play without going to the Sound
preference set up. When you plug the ProCast Mio into the USB port you’ll see a dialog box that will ask you if you want
to select Miktek ProCast Mio . Select yes and you’re ready to go.

Installing the ProCast Mio
Getting Started with Windows
1. The first time you plug the ProCast Mio into a USB port, Windows will install the universal drivers for that port. A bal-
loon tip will pop up, telling you it has found the USB Audio codec.
2. When it is finished installing the drivers, it will say “Your new hardware is installed and ready to use” .
Note: This balloon will not pop up again for the same USB port.
3. Use the output volume from the computer to adjust the level, but sometimes it defaults to the middle of the slider,
making the output very quiet. The volume can be increased in several ways. The simplest is to click the loudspeaker
icon in the system tray and drag the slider to the top.
4. If the icon is not there, the volume can be changed by going to Control Panel and opening Sound and adjust system
volume.
5. To use the ProCast Mio as your default input device (for system sounds and programs like Sound Recorder), ensure
that it is set for playback and recording in the Audio tab.
6. The volume can then be set by pressing the Volume button.
7. To prevent system sounds from coming through the ProCast Mio, select a different sound card for the system default,
and then choose the Miktek Mio manually within your DAW software.
A Word on Sample Rates and Bit Depth
The ProCast Mio is capable of recording and playing back various sample rates and bit depths. The sample
rate is the resolution the converters use to capture the analog audio and convert it into digital information.
The higher the resolution, the better the audio quality. While you can choose a higher sample rate, keep in
mind that CD quality audio is at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz which is the choice of many professional recording
engineers since that’s the sample rate that will be used in the final mastered CD. In general, the larger the

bit depth the more dynamic range (another way to say signal to noise ratio), which helps keep recordings
quieter. A common setting for most professional recording projects is with a sample rate at 44.1 kHz and
depth of 16 bit. Most Mac and PC based DAW’s allow you to select the bit depth and sample rate within the
program. However, you can also select them at a system level with in the Mac “Audio MIDI Setup” utility or in
the “Sound” control panel on the Windows based computers.
Selecting Sample Rates and Bit Depth on Apple-Macintosh
You can select the sample rate and bit depth in the “Audio MIDI Setup” utility located in the “Utilities” folder.
1. From the desktop select menu “GO” then, “Utilities” then, “Audio MIDI Setup” to launch the Audio MIDI
set up utility.
2. Next, set the Output sampling rates by clicking on the Miktek Mio to select the sample rate.
3. At this point you can select the bit depth using the pull down menu.
4. Now, click Apply and the new settings will be in place.

Selecting the Sampling Rate and Bit Depth in Windows Systems
1. Connect your ProCast Mio to an available USB port on your computer.
2. Next, navigate to your computer’s Control panel.
3. From the Control panel, click on the “Hardware & Sound” option.
4. Now, from the “Hardware & Sound” menu, choose the “Sound” icon.
5. Next, select the “Recording” tab.
6. Choose the “Miktek Mio” from the available input devices.
7. Click on “Properties” and select the “Advanced” tab.
8. Set the sample rate from the “Default Format” pull down menu.
9. Now set the Output by going to your computer’s control panel, and from there, select the “Hardware &
Sound” option.
10. From the “Hardware & Sound” menu, choose the “Sound” icon.
