Is USB output driven from main only? Is any chance to pilot usb from sub-channels? Thanks

I have never used it like this, but according to the manual, the subgroups can be sent to this as well, so you can route a subgroup to a second console or computer. If you don't use this feature, the output is identical to the main mix. Hope this helps.

Not sure of your meaning of "pilot" the USB, but see if this helps. Whatever is going to the main output is going to the USB and the USB cannot be reassigned to any other control. However, if you vary the mix by channel mutes and sub group assignments you can choose whatever you would like to be "heard" at the main output, and hence the USB.

I have the same question and there isn't a clear answer with rationale. Can anyone chime in on this? My speakers are not USB powered. They have a dedicated power supply.

I don't know about questions 2 & 3, but as for question 1, no, the usb port is just for decoration apparently. I could not get a usb network attached drive to work, so called customer support. They said that this function does not work despite the claims that it is marketed with and even the description in the manual and on the box. They would not even say when or if there will be a firmware fix. Would suggest another brand.

The USB is output only, not input. You can use that port for charging devices with an already charged battery. For instance, I charged my iPhone during a power outage. Pretty handy, but it doesn't work the other way.

It does have a USB port, and I was able to see it on my laptop once, but the parent unit has to be connected to the laptop, plus the driver is very unreliable. After the one time it actually worked, I could never get it to show up again.

it must be USB 2 on both to work. It is not software based. I could never get it to work period.

In addition to my earlier answer: You have to use a USB 2.0 port, cause you are right under powered 3.0

I have not found a driver, but I figured out how to write and read from the other tools and AP they provide. Using teh USB port in a shell script works for me, but my code is a ways away from being complete, I was able to get it to make a request and read the request but to this point I have not done anything else on it, just been too busy.

I don't use the usb feature myself. But I would say that the answer by R. Schumacher sounds right. As far as the manual goes that's true of many manuals these days. I've found that I can get a bunch of good information by doing an online search. If you can find a chat room you'll get a lot of answers. Good luck.

Yes! I'm using this product rigth out of the box. No programming needed. Programming needed for fancy stuff, like one radio can hear only other and so on. I haven't connecter usb cable to PC yeat, no need to do this

Not unless you are comfortable taking things apart and re-soldering wires. The existing USB port is for output only.

There should be no reason why that cannot be accomplished. If you've never attached anything to your USB port, your computer will acknowledge that and d/l software, if needed, for that specific device. I am sure you've heard of........plug-n-play? That is what should happen. As long as you have a sound card to deliver it and drivers to make them hand-shake.....no worries.

I have this model and the only usb ports other than the main USB-B to the computer are all output usb hub ports. I don't believe usb-in is available.

No. There is only one USB port used for both input (charging internal batteries) and output (charging external USB device). You press the power button to select who mode it is in: Red for input, Blue for output.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

I have not tried. But before i responded - i just went and brought a USB fan. An tried it this morning at work. An yes the ports work. thank you. The USB i used probably required more power than the ports give out.
