Installing the Go Mic

Installing the Go Mic is a simple procedure

that takes just a few minutes. Since the Go

Mic is USB 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 Go Mic 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 Windows XP

1. The first time you plug the Go Mic into

a USB port, Windows will install the

universal drivers for that port. A balloon

tip will pop up, telling you it has “Found

new Hardware” (figure 1).

2. When it is finished installing the drivers,

it will say “Your new hardware is installed

and ready to use” (figure 2).

Note: This balloon will not pop up again for

the same USB port.
