USB connections
Use the included USB cable to connect the
US-200 to your computer as shown in the
illustration.
NOTE
Set the
•
PHANTOM (+48V) switch to OFF
when connecting the USB cable to this
unit.
Some USB devices access the USB bus
•
frequently. To avoid dropouts and clicks in
the audio signal, we strongly recommend
that you do not connect any USB devices
other than keyboards and mice to the USB
bus used by this unit.
The USB indicator might stay lit even after
•
the connected computer is shut down.
This occurs with some computers that
continue to supply power over connected
USB cables even when they are shut
down.
Audio connections
Connect the output signal of your mic,
guitar, keyboard, or other audio device to the
US-200, where it will be converted into digital
audio and sent via USB to your computer.
Connect the output of the US-200 to your
speakers (via an amp) or headphones, so
you will be able to monitor the audio signals
coming into the US-200 or being produced
by your computer.
The balance between the input signal from
the mic and guitar and the output signal
from the computer should be adjusted by the
MON MIX knob.
Microphones
Connect microphones to the MIC/LINE/INST
IN 1 and MIC/LINE IN 2 XLR connectors on
the front panel. When using a condenser
microphone that requires phantom power,
set the PHANTOM (+48V) switch on the rear
panel to ON. When the PHANTOM (+48V)
switch is set to ON, the +48V indicator on the
front panel lights.
+48V (PHANTOM) indicator

an unbalanced connection to the unit
when the PHANTOM (+48V) switch is

•

noises might be produced and damage
could be caused to equipment.
Before changing the setting of the
•
PHANTOM (+48V) switch to ON or OFF,
turn the LEVEL knob to its minimum level.
Depending on the microphone connected,
a loud noise could occur, which might
damage equipment or harm hearing.
