In this chapter, we’ll cover the USB audio capabilities of POD® HD500. With the
installation of the Line 6 USB audio driver, you can use POD HD500 as a high quality
audio interface for your Mac® or Windows® computer!
The Line 6 USB Audio Driver
Before you connect POD HD500 to your computer, it is recommended that you download
and install the free
Line 6 POD HD500 Edit
software. This installs the necessary Line 6
USB Audio Driver*, as well as the Line 6 Monkey update utility (also see
).
*NOTE: As of the POD HD500 USB Device Driver version 5.7.0, Mac OS® X 10.4
(Tiger®) is no longer supported. To use the POD HD500 USB connection with a Mac®
running OS® X 10.4, you’ll need to download and install the earlier POD HD500 Driver
version 5.1.2, available from
http://line6.com/software/
.
