How do I enable phantom power?

Is the MaXiO XD USB-C compatible?
The device uses a standard USB-B port. You can use a USB-B to USB-C cable for compatibility with modern computers.
Why is there no sound from my headphones?
Check that the headphone volume knob is turned up and that the monitor mix knob is not set to entirely contain input. Also ensure the correct audio output is selected in your DAW.
Can I use the MaXiO XD with an iPad?
The MaXiO XD is not natively compatible with iOS. You may need a powered USB hub and a Lightning to USB camera adapter, but functionality is not guaranteed.
How do I set the buffer size to reduce latency?
In your DAW's audio settings, select the ESI ASIO driver and adjust the buffer size to a lower value (e.g., 64 or 128 samples) for lower latency at the cost of higher CPU usage.
What does the 'Direct Monitor' switch do?
The Direct Monitor switch routes the input signal directly to the headphones and outputs, bypassing the computer for zero-latency monitoring.
