Your Bumblebee is friendly, and assimilates well with all species when properly introduced. The following instructions will

ensure the Bumblebee’s gracious acceptance into its new colony.

Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista

1. Connect the Bumblebee to your computer with the included cable. The square end (Type B) connects to the back of the

Bumblebee’s base, while the ﬂat end (Type A) connects to a USB port on your computer. The lights surrounding the control

knobs illuminate when the Bumblebee is receiving power.

2. Go to the Start menu, and open the Control Panel.

3. From the Control Panel, click on the Sound icon.

4. Select the Recording tab, then select Bumblebee USB.

5. Select the Playback tab, and again select Bumblebee USB. From this window, you can also adjust your computer’s master

output volume. Initially set it at 100%, then use the Volume control on the Bumblebee’s base to adjust the headphone output level.

Please note: Your computer will recognize the Bumblebee as both an input device (microphone) and an output device (headphone ampliﬁer),

so all of your computer’s audio will be routed to the Bumblebee. You can change this if necessary in the Control Panel/Sound window, or in your

recording program’s settings. Also in this window, you can adjust the microphone monitoring level by moving the Microphone fader to the left or right.

Mac (OSX 10.4.11 or higher)

1. Connect the Bumblebee to your Mac with the included cable. The square end (Type B) connects to the back of the

Bumblebee’s base, while the ﬂat end (Type A) connects to a USB port on your Mac. The lights surrounding the control

knobs illuminate when the Bumblebee is receiving power.

2. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.

3. Click on the Sound icon.

4. Select the Input tab, then select Bumblebee USB.

5. Select the Output tab, and again select Bumblebee USB. From this window, you can also adjust your Mac’s master output

volume. Initially set it at 100%, then use the volume control on the Bumblebee’s base to adjust the headphone output level.

Please note: Your Mac will recognize the Bumblebee as both an input device (microphone) and an output device (headphone ampliﬁer), so all of your com-

puter’s audio will be routed to the Bumblebee. You can change this if necessary in the Sound Preferences window, or in your recording program’s settings.
