2. Installation

U86 XT is not simply a standard digital audio interface, but a high-resolution device capable of

advanced processing of audio content. Even though U86 XT is built to have low-CPU resource

dependability, system specifications play a key part in the U86 XTs performance. Systems with

more advanced components are generally recommended.

Minimum System Requirements

Windows Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 or 10 (32- and 64-bit) operating system

1 available USB 2.0 port

Mac

Mac OS X 10.7 or higher

1 available USB 2.0 port

U86 XT is directly connected to an available USB port of your computer. In order to make sure the

unit works, you need to use the included electric power supply that connects your mains power

outlet to the 12V DC connector on the backside of U86 XT. Once this connection is made, simply

install the hardware by plugging it into your computer with the supplied USB cable.

2.3 Driver & Software Installation

After the connection of U86 XT, the operating system automatically detects it as a new hardware

device. However, you need to install our driver in order to use it.

We strongly recommend to download the latest driver from www.esi-audio.com before installing

U86 XT on your computer. The driver on our website can always be more recent compared to the

driver on the included Installation DVD.

This text explains how to install U86 XT under Windows 10. If you use Windows Vista, Windows

7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, the steps are basically the same. Connect U86 XT before you install

the driver, but turn it off first.

To start the installation, launch the setup program, which is an .exe file that is inside a recent driver

download from our website or in the Windows folder of the included Installation DVD, by double

USB port of a computer
