Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Neva Duo, a high

quality USB-C audio interface to connect microphones,

synthesizers or guitars and to listen with headphones or

studio monitors in 24-bit / 192 kHz audio quality. Neva

Duo works with Mac, PC and as a fully class compliant

device even with many portable devices such as iPad and

iPhone (via an adapter like the Camera Connection Kit).

Getting Started

To start using Neva Duo, connect it to your computer

using the included USB cable. The ESI logo LED will

light up in orange color to show that the audio interface is

ready to use. It is a good time now to either connect

headphones to the headphone connector on the front or

using the TRS outputs on the back to connect the interface

to active studio monitors. You will not be able to listen to

any audio signals otherwise.

On the Mac, Neva Duo does not require any drivers to be

used (plug-and-play), however you can download a

control panel application on our website. On iPhone or

iPad, most audio apps will automatically use the interface

after it has been connected. For Windows users, we

provide a driver optimized for professional audio

applications (incl. ASIO support) that is available for

download - http://en.esi.ms/119. Also the driver provides

DirectWIRE, virtual audio channels and loopback

functionality. This makes it possible to mix and record

internal audio signals from various audio applications.

More details about DirectWIRE and loopback can be

found on our website in the extensive Knowledge Base

under kb.esi-audio.com.

Microphone Connection

To connect a microphone to Neva Duo, you need to know

if it is a dynamic or a condenser microphone. Only in the

later case, 48V phantom power is required and the

corresponding switch needs to be enabled (the orange ESI

logo LED then turns red). If you are unsure what

microphone you have, check its manual. You can connect

two microphones simultaneously using XLR cables and the

corresponding input selection switch must be set to 'Line'.

Guitar Connection

To use Neva Duo with an electric guitar or bass, you need

to connect it with a TS guitar cable. For the corresponding

input, the selection switch must be set to 'Hi-Z'.

Input Monitoring

If you want to listen to the incoming audio signals, you can

enable the so-called direct monitoring function with the

'Direct' monitoring switch on Neva Duo. When enabled, you

listen to incoming signals and playback simultaneously.

Recording and Playback

To check if Neva Duo is working with your computer, it is

best to play music as a test signal while you slowly turn

up the headphone level volume knob (when using

headphones) or the master volume knob when using

speakers. Make sure you are not making the playback

signal too loud for your ears.

You can record audio in your favorite audio application

(i.e. a DAW like Bitwig Studio 8-Track or an audio

recorder like WaveLab LE) after selecting Neva Duo as

recording and playback device in its settings dialog (refer

to the manual of your software for details, also you can

find more info in our Knowledge Base under kb.esi-

audio.com).

Once you start the recording process using either input 1

or 2, slowly turn up the corresponding gain knob

clockwise until the input level meters in the software

show a proper signal level. Additionally, the LED ring

around the gain knob also indicates the signal level. When

the light is off, it is likely that the volume is too low or

there is no signal. When it turns green, the signal level is

usable. Orange usually indicates an optimal level and red

means that the level is too high (i.e. the signal clips) and

the gain has to be reduced.
