SERIES 208i Settings Panel ROUTING screen
NOTE
For details about other settings, see "ROUTING page" in "5 - Using the Settings Panel" of the Reference Manual.
Changing sampling frequency
The sampling frequency (44.1kHz by default) can be set using DAW software or with the following procedure.
Windows
Change using: Control Panel → Sound window → Playback tab → Speakers SERIES 102i or Speakers SERIES 208i → Properties → Advanced tab → Default Format. Then, on the Recording tab, use "Set Default" for "Mic SERIES 102i" or "Mic SERIES 208i" to set the same sampling frequency in the same manner.
Mac
Change using: Applications folder → Utilities folder → Audio MIDI Setup → Audio Devices window → SERIES 102i or SERIES 208i w Format.
NOTE
When shipped new from the factory, the MONITOR knob is set to its minimum value, so no signals will be output from the LINE OUT 1-2 (MONITOR) jacks.
Adjust the MONITOR knob as desired when using the LINE OUT 1-2 (MONITOR) jacks.
Troubleshooting
Please read this chapter if you are unable to use the unit properly even after setting it up following the procedures in this manual.
If you are still unable to resolve your problems please contact TAS-CAM customer support (see the end of this manual) with the following information about the operating environment and details about the trouble.
Operating environment
● Computer manufacturer :
Model:
CPU:
● Memory (RAM) :
- Operating system:
● Applications used:

● Wireless LAN use:
If these measures do not resolve the issue, please contact the retailer where you purchased this unit or a TEAC service center. See the end of this document for contact information.
The dedicated software cannot be installed.
1. Check the operating system
The operating system being used might not be compatible with the software that you are trying to install.
Check the compatible operating system of the software you are trying to install again.
2. Stop software running in the background
Antivirus software and other software that runs in the background can prevent installation.
Quit software that runs in the background and try installation again.
The unit is connected, but the computer does not recognize it.
- Install the dedicated software
- If you have not done so, install the dedicated software. (See "Installing the dedicated software" on page 8.)
-
Change the USB port
-
This unit cannot be used with USB 1.1. Use a port that supports at least USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.
- Do not use a USB hub with this unit. Always connect the unit directly to a USB port on the computer.
- If the above methods do not resolve the problem, connect the unit to a different USB port on the computer.
I cannot hear any sound even when audio is played back on the computer.
Confirm that the MONITOR BALANCE knob on the unit is not turned all the way to the left (toward INPUT).
If that is the case, turn the MONITOR BALANCE knob to the right of center (toward COMPUTER).
In addition, check the status of the unit's connection with the computer. Moreover, if you make the following settings, sound will be output through this unit, but no sound will be output by the computer's speakers or headphone jack.
Windows
- See the "Windows Media Player" section in the "6 - Application Guide" chapter of the Reference Manual, and make settings for the default playback device according to the OS.
Mac
- Quit all applications and open "System Preferences..." from the Apple menu.
- Open "Sound".
- On the "Output" tab, select "SERIES 102i" or "SERIES 208i".
After completing the setting, restart the computer and check the sound of playback. Depending on the application that you are using, you might need to make additional device settings.
In particular, DAW applications operate using audio engines with settings that are different from the OS settings, so confirm the DAW settings first after installing the dedicated software for this unit.
Please see the manuals for the applications that you are using for detailed setting procedures.
Sound breaks up or there is noise.
The processing load on the computer causes sound to break up and noise to occur.
Here are some methods to reduce the load on the computer.
-
A wireless LAN and software running in the background, including antivirus software, regularly put processing loads on the computer, which can cause sound to break up and other noise. Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus software and other software running in the background when using this unit.
-
Set the buffer size (latency) in the audio application that you are using or in this unit's Settings Panel to a larger value (Windows only).
NOTE
Consult the maker of the audio application that you are using for methods to reduce its load on your computer.
- Change the settings of your computer so that they are optimal for audio processing.
Using Windows
① Open the Control Panel using the appropriate method for the OS you are using (Windows 10/Windows 8.1/Windows 7).
- In Windows 10, open the "Control Panel". Then, click the "System" icon.
- In Windows 8.1, right-click the ordinary Start screen (Metro user interface screen) and then click "All apps". Then, right-click "Computer" and select "Properties".
