USB connections
Use the included USB cable to connect the US-322/366 to your
computer as shown in the illustration. When the USB connection
is active, the USB indicator on the top of the unit lights.
CAUTION
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.
Audio connections
Connect the output signal of your mic, guitar, keyboard, or other
audio device to the US-322/366, where it will be converted
into digital audio and sent via USB to your computer. Connect
the output of the US-322/366 to your speakers (via an amp) or
headphones, so you will be able to monitor the audio signals
coming into the US-322/366 or being produced by your
computer.
CAUTION
Before connecting an audio device, set the INPUT 1/2,
PHONES and LINE OUT knobs to their minimum values.
Failure to do so could cause loud noises, which might
damage equipment or harm the hearing of people nearby.
Microphones
Connect microphones to the INPUT 1/L and INPUT 2/R MIC
connectors (XLR) on the front panel.
When using a condenser microphone that requires phantom
power, set the 48V switch on the front panel to ON.
When the 48V switch is set to ON, the 48V indicator on the top
panel lights.

CAUTION
• Connecting a dynamic microphone with an unbalanced
