4. Inst Switch 1/2
Turn on/o the input impedance. Please turn the inst switch on when connecting Hi-Z instruments such as an electric guitar/bass to achieve better input
eects.
1. It's recommended to set the gain of AD5 to the minimum before turning on/o Inst switch to avoid feedback problems and damage to the devices.
2. When connecting devices not requiring high inpedance to IN1/2 port, please make sure to turn o Inst switch.
3. To protect your speaker system, leave the monitor speakers turned o when turning the Inst switch on/o.
5. 3.5mm Monitoring Port 1
Plug in 3.5mm TRS/TRRS headphones to monitor.
6. Monitoring Mode Switch
Turn on/o Direct monitoring mode. In direct monitoring mode, AD5 will route the audio signals from IN1/2 directly to the monitor outputs and headphones with
zero latency. In input monitoring mode, audio signals from IN1/2 will be routed to the DAW software and then to the monitor outputs and headphones with
mixed audio, which will cause a delay in monitoring.
7. Loopback Switch
Loopback uses the 'virtual' inputs, which have no physical connectors on the audio interface itself but can directly route the digital signal streams back to
DAW software, it can capture all the audio signals from your computer(e.g., the audio signal output from a web browser) to input to the audio interface.
Short press to turn on/of Loopback. When Loopback is on, AD5 will output audio signals both from IN1/2 and USB-C ports; When Loopback is o, AD5 will
output audio signals from IN1/2 ports.
8. Monitoring Volume Control Knob
Adjust the volume level of the monitoring port1/2.
Loopback only aects the audio output of the USB-C port, not the 3.5mm port.

Back Panel:
1. Power/Language Switch Button
Long press to turn on/o; short press to switch the language of AD5
between Chinese and English.
2. USB-C Charging Port
Users can charge AD5 through the 2 in 1 cable.
3. USB Port 1/2
To connect phones/computers to input/output audio signals via the 2 in 1
audio cable. Phones/computers can route audio singals to AD5 and AD5
can achieve the digital output of audio signals from both phones/computers
and IN1/2.
4. 3.5mm Port 1/2
To connect phones to input/output audio signals via the 3.5mm
TRRS-TRRS audio cable. Phones can route audio signals to AD5 and AD5
can achieve analog output of the audio signals from phones and IN1/2.
5. 3.5mm Monitoring Port 2
Plug in 3.5mm TRS/TRRS headphones to monitor.
6. Line Output Port
Connect to the monitor speakers, L means the left channel and R the right
channel.
7. Reset Hole
If the device cannot be charged or is unable to function, insert the reset
pin into the reset hole to reset it.

连接电脑时，用户可参考下文在DAW软件内进行相应的设置（以Cubase和Pro Tools为例）。
如果在DAW软件设置里无法找到‘Comica_AD5-USB2’，请打开系统声音设置，确认声卡连接正常并已将声卡AD5设为默认的输
入输出设备。
选择Direct监听模式时，请关闭DAW软件‘监听’功能，否则将会听到两次录音，其中一个信号是延迟发声的回音；选择Input监
听模式时，请开启DAW软件内的‘监听’功能，即可听到经过DAW软件处理后的音频，该监听存在一定延迟。
