File: README for M-Audio Capture and Playback Adapter (M-ACPA)

  Congratulations on the purchase of your new M-Audio Capture and Playback
  Adapter for the IBM Personal System/2.  Along with this README file your
  diskette should contain the file @6E6C.ADF and directories \DIAG, \DEMO, 
  \SAMPLES and \API. The ADF file is only needed for Micro Channel computers.
  Each of the three directories contain a unique README file for quick 
  reference and updating information.  This README file contains general 
  updates and clarifications for the audio board.


  Updates and Clarifications:

  (1).  The Microphone sensitivity specification in the M-ACPA manual pg. vii
        is based upon  0 db = 1 volt/micro bar.

  (2).  The best audio quality (Signal to Noise ratio) from the M-ACPA may be
        obtained by adhering to the following guidelines:
          a. For optimum performance, place the M-ACPA as far as possible
             from other adapters.
          b. The computer should have its cover on and secured. All 
             unoccupied board slots should have a metal bracket installed.
          c. The cables used with M-ACPA should be shielded, as short as
             possible (less than 6 ft.), and not tangled.  Attempt to 
             place the audio and video cables at maximum distance from 
             each other.  See manual page A16, step A350 for further 
             diagnosing cable problems.
          d. Avoid unnecessary plugging and un-plugging connections to the 
             M-ACPA as this tends to degrade the quality of the cable to
             board connection.
