Connect the microphones using the USB cables that come with the microphones.

nType A plug goes to the USB 3 (recommended) port of your PC. USB 3.0 connectors and ports can be recognized by their symbols, and often also by their blue color coding.

Connect multiple microphones with a USB hub

When you work with UltraVox XT installed on a laptop, use a powered USB 3 hub.

note  A powered, or active, USB hub is powered through a wall outlet to bring each hub port to the same energy level as an on-system port. Non-powered, or passive, USB hubs do not have an external power source and only pull power from the computer's USB port.
